Photographer’s Note

These highly polished golden domes surmount St. Michael's Monastery. The bright sunlight gleams from the cupolas and the intricate decoration around the top of the building.

Hi Jonathan, I like the composition, and this blue and gold colours.
The view has a very good clarity and sharpness. The light is perfect. Also you did very well to be closer to the facade, and chose this POV.
Good work. Best regards.

Hi Jonathan, what a radiating beauty! what a shining display. It's hard to avoid with light like this a shining gold cuppolas to get some overexposed areas, but you did very well here. The sky behind it, is really gorgeous.
The blues, sky and building are great, and so is the linked picture. Thanks Jonathan, it's time to pay a visit to the Ukraine.

What a subject ! With such an architecture you do not need to increase saturation ;-)
In Europe we are not used to this kind of decoration, in particular for religious buildings. Your framing is very good, enhancing both the colors and the beautiful symetry between the buildings. Gorgeous !

This is really great stuff! I'm not sure which view is better, this one or the previous one with the whole building. This one shows the details of the incredible workmanship and artistry, which you can't really see in the other one. Either way, it's beautiful.

Hi Jonathan
Great contrast between the clear blue sky and the golden roofs. I like the shining gold, it does look highly polished
