A Wonder of Russia

Thank you!

A most interesting scene. I am trying to figure out how it was lit. I guess it must have been spotlights because the background just goes dark rapidly and no portable flash equipment would do this. I could almost believe it was a pottery miniature on a table. I notice the background is not black but a mottled reddish color, so I presume you had to use a high ISO. I played with this in Adobe Raw software and it is beginning to look more like a miniature against a background. Was it or am I completely fooled?

Really surprising proposal. I wonder how you made it... Compliments y un abrazo, El

My compliments to an outstanding photo. Well composed with amazing vivid colours and a light.. yes the light is just fantastic. Great job and congratulations. Take good care. All the vest from Jannica

Awesome BG and the light effect. Tonal, sharpness and the treatment is fantastic. Rgds.

Beautifully treated image with very good lighting and attractive colours. Best regards.

Wonderful presentation again. Best regards.

Interesting shot..well produced...Maybe it is a model?...Does it really matter...Regards

Actually, the "strange" image I have submitted for critique is the post processed version of the photo shown above, the one I start off with. I have done colours and levels adjustments and have applied texture for the background, nothing more than that.

 

I'd like to thank each and every one of you for your appreciation of this image. Thank you very much indeed, Anabela

I really don`t care how you did it, the ends justifies the means, this one gets 7/7 from me!

brava! a fantastic way to show what you wanted to show. the global atmosphere becomes very evocative of the soul of that wonder

Excellent work, Anabela. Very very well done. Warm regards//Nacho.

Very timely, at least for me Anabela...I was too tired to work on my photos, so was lazy and watched a 'silly' movie last nite "Maxwell Smart"...but loved the scenery in it....much of Russia was in the background and these very 'temples'(?) were there....love your textures, color, and processing ...beautiful! sincerely, Gail

Anabela, una composicion muy creativa, excelente la luz y el color. Me gusta la version original. Un cordial saludo, Joaquin.

Un gran trabajo.Saludos

This beautiful art you have produced is truly amazing, taking the original 'tourist photo' and producing this wonderful image takes vision and skill. Very nicely done!

A castle in the air? Great composition and colors. Anabela, I like your original one too. Rgds.

Thank you all for your continued support. It is greatly appreciated, Anabela

What a great presentation of a beautiful landmark. I love the darkness that the building vanishes into. I think I would prefer a more natural but still dramatic background. Perhaps a red sunset or dark grey textured clouds. As it is now, it looks like a mini model. Fabulous colours and contrasts. Beautiful shot!

Like this a lot !
