Hi Uhu,
This is a well-executed shot. The colours and the composition are nice and the converging verticals not too apparent.
Best wishes,
Jeremy

hi Uhu

It is really a pity that a great photo capture like this one is not well appreciated. Only 2 points out of 124 views, hard for me to believe.

This is a superb composition and exposure to show a fine example of great architecture.

Always interesting to see Russian architecture aspects from your posting. Keep shooting.
