Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Mikhail. the first thing i thought when i looked at your images was, beautiful tones.

The first image strikes me as the better one as i like the busy foreground caused by the tree with the cathedral behind also being busy, but contrasting nicely with the tree.

Great stuff.
Steve.

Nice shots Mikhail, I too like the composition of the first one but think that it may be slightly too busy in the foreground, not that you can do anything about it unless you had a chainsaw with you.

Mikhail, great photo of the cathedral; particularly photo1.
The little Ukrainian Church in Canberra isn't too much off re architecture.
Good to see.
Say hello to the family.

Regards,
Christian

Thanks guys!

Contrastness of the first scene was my only hope to compensate busyness :) And it seems to be working :)

Christian, Lara and Taya are saying hello to you!
