Geia sou Hercules, this is a very appropriate photo for the festive season. The low POV and wide-angle make the already awesome church even more grand. I love the warm tones and the effect of the stained glass windows. Great work and happy Christmas to you and your family. May 2010 be everything you dream it to be, Lisa

Buenos días Hercules,
Magnífico POV del mosaico bizantino.
Yo lo capté desde el primer piso y no tuve una visión tan global. Es una maravilla. Muy apropiado para Navidad.
Felices Fiestas para tí y tu familia.

Hi Hercules, Outstanding colours which really catch the eye are what i noticed in the smaller version. TE is wonderful to allow us to see such things through the lens of others. Ideal for the historic Xmas message. All the best to you for 2010. TFS, Murray.

All the lines of this oustanding fresco lead the eye to the virgin Mary: a great and fine icon for a nice Christmas card (much in your style). A work of art masterly photographed by an artist!

Great gallery .... an incredible treasure trove of beautiful photos.
I choose this time, this jewel of holiness and faith.
There are technical comments ... unnecessary.
Critics must be equal or drown.
I'm not that.
Congratulations
