hi Alessandro,

Superb pov and i love the tonal range, you maybe used the density tool for the tree on the background and lost a little bit contrasted green but the result is nice anyway.
good luck vs the blacks ;)
ciao

Hi Alessandro,
This is an interesting shot... it looks half-HDR and half-not. Certainly heavily manipulated but I'm in two minds about it.
On the one hand, I doubt it would work without the effects; but on the other, I think it needs more work... and by that I don't mean more halos, more extreme colours and other nasty HDR effects.
Interesting concept... but I'm waiting on some more to make my mind up :)
Lewis.

I like this photo very much. I think it is a fine use of photoshop techniques to emphazise a subject and de-emphasize the surrounding landscape. Instead of using a depth of vision you chose to illuminate and saturate the colors of the subject and tone down and blend those of the surrounding area. I am curious to see the original photo, but for this version I only suggest that you for a bit further and saturate the overall colors and sharpen the entire photo. You might also consider cropping off a bit from the left side. Otherwise a strong photo.

Hi Alessandro,
Very beautiful picture with the gold really standing out and being a focal point. Is that the church from the Blago something monastery?
Best,
Jeremy

Hi Alessandro,
beautiful photo of this part of monastery plant. In underground, the subway-bridge in building, was this year much advanced.
But the province is called also like the city NIZYNIY NOVGOROD and not VOLOGDA. Please correct it.
