Beautiful scene. Colors are very nice. The composition would be easier on the eyes if cropped a bit more on the left side of the picture. The reeds seem to overwhelm the picture.

Greetings, from the Critique Club.

This image has an elegance to it that doesn’t immediately jump out at the viewer. A person has to actually LOOK at this shot to appreciate the delicate balance between light, aperture and shutter speed.

I like how the bell towers/steeples stand out against the night skyâ€Â¦also the tree silhouetted against the light on the building is a very subtle touch. The visual flow of this shot is great. My eye starts with the tree on the rightâ€Â¦goes up to the steeple and follows the roofline to the other steepleâ€Â¦then down the back of the building. By the way, great job of handholding this shot, the lack of sharpness doesn’t bother me a bit.

I think your exposure is almost perfect; although, I feel there are a couple of overexposed points in the bell towers/steeples and the darkness/blacks are a touch grey. Of course, if you were to stop down any more, you’d lose the details in the building, so yupâ€Â¦there’s some give and take with a shot like this. Another thing to noteâ€Â¦I have my monitor set a touch bright in order to see details in images with a lot of darkness, this may have something to do with how I’m seeing your shot.

I hope this helps,
Quadrajet

Good time of night to photograph this! I like the point of view here; it makes it look grand and important. Lighting gives it a sacred feel. Nice work! 9

This is a lovely building and the lighting is very dramatic overall on the building. The trees sadly take so much away from the overall effect of the shot, maybe from a different side or angle? A 6
