A better juxtaposition of subject matters in my eyes. And in my humble opinion.

The Church itself, looks to be worthy of some more investigation on it's own architectural merits. Perhaps, if I may suggest ... take a look at the architectural galleries for some inspiration in presentation and for some further ideas.

Clarity is good, composition still needs a bit of attention. And that said, without the benefit of being there in the shot. The natural framing provided by the trees is a nice touch, however, it does obscure part of your viusal 'message' here in this one, I think. Again, my humble opinion.

I would agree, wholeheartedly ... that the 'contrast' you present to us ... is indeed, eye catching.

Thanks for sharing this one with us.

The colors of the church do stand out. Nice photo!

Having been there, you have done a marvelous job with what his available. The Russian orthodoxy has done a miraculous job of restoring these beautiful sibor. Some of these were reduced to stables during the Stalin years. Truly a gem shining amid the Brezhnev architecture.

Great job.

After these exotic icing sugar buildings how did the Russian people live with the dirty grey blocks of the Communist era? The world needs a lot more extravagant expressions of imagination. They affect us like the sun rising.

Very nice indeed,Thanks for sharing!
