Lavra Church in Kiev

Hello.

Very eye catching, I love the choice of framing the church in the twisted fence, and the diagonal edge cutting the lower portion of the frame supports it nicely. I might be happy to lose the corner of the building in the lower right of frame though. This might also be interesting as a purely b/w image as well.

Indeed. The composition here is beautifully choreographed, such that the fence's spikes seem to be dancing ironically in the dusky grey-toned sky. You have presented a very striking image here E Modest. -Louise Bridge.

Very original shot. Good eye in finding this framing. Did you shoot other versions with different focus points?

Yes, all of the above. Why not in B&W?

Very nice. If that was the unmanipulated colour of the original, it should be left, and not to be reduced to monochrome. I would have done a slight crop on the right to remove the unsupported branches, and I would have touched out the wires that run across the photograph, because the image is artistic, rather than reality. Otherwise, well done.

Love this photo! 6/7

A quite lovely shot. While accepting this wouldn't be the same image, I find myself wanting to crop out the branches & the building on the sides. Eliminating the "reality" might strengthen the relationship of the steeple to the spikes. Another variation that possibly you even took would be to put the steeple just above the fence to play up the similarity; but probably that's my version, not yours. Congratulations on your version regardless of my comments.

Well seen, but it begs to have been taken as a vertical or perhaps a square. I would also try it with different lighting / weather.

Yes, square format would be nice for this one. Carl is right and I'm glad he pointed it out so instructively.
