Orthodox Church, a photo from Kauno, South

Photographer's Note

Orthodox Church of the Resurrection in Kaunas - Orthodox Church in Kaunas, 1923-1935 (until the erection of the Annunciation Council) was the seat of the Ephesian Council of Vilnius and the Lithuanian Russian Orthodox Church. rnrnThe Holy Resurrection Church is an Eastern Orthodox church in Kaunas, Lithuania, built in 1862 in the area of the local Orthodox cemetery.rnrnrnIn 1947 the Soviet government agreed to open the church, which was to function just like before the war. In 1957 the building was renovated. However, only four years later the local government decided that the Annunciation parish did not need two churches and turned the Holy Resurrection church into an office. All the original church equipment was transferred to the cathedral. In 2000, the church was given back to the Orthodox diocese, but it is still closed, with one icon kept inside to the sacral character of the place./wiki/

Hello, Piotr!

Beautiful architecture of the church, and the light is very interesting here, it was very well managed with an interesting play with the shadows! The soft colors are beautiful! Wonderful composition!

Hi Piotr,

The trees are framing well the church. The point of view is showing a double perspective of the architecture of the church. There is a good contrast between the colours of the picture. Have a nice day.

Hello Piotr,
Very good photo of this white church. You captured it from a well-chosen POV, from which we can see a nice play of light and shadows on the church itself and the square in front of it.

Hello Piotr,
A beautiful church in a nicely composed photo. The trees frame the view well and the shadows create a lively pattern on the ground, making it look less empty.
Kind regards,
Gert

Fine view of the white edifice, beautiful design of the church,
Piotr.
Light and shadows cast combined wonderfully, enhanced the sight against the backlight which was handled fairly good.
My best regards,
Ike

A remarkable history of this orthodox church in what is sometimes called the most Catholic country of Europe.
Presented from a good angle.
Beautiful with the shadows filling the foreground.

Hello, Piotr!

The jet trail in the sky adds a lead in line towards the church tower. Good sharpness and excellent management of the back & side light. Nice shadow play in the fg. Tfs!

Czesc Piotr,
wspanialy reportaz z Litwy! Piekna cerkiew i do tego pomimo bardzo trudnego swiatla wspaniale pokazana. Bardzo ladnie wykorzystales gre swiatla i cienia. Najistotniejsze elementy sa podkreslone bezposrednim swiatlem podczas gdy reszta spoczywa w cieniu.
Zazdrosze tej podrozy, tak blisko z POlski a jednak nigdy w te strone nie pojechalem...
Pozdrawiam serdecznie,
M
