My second PUG assignment this month is Dan Matyola, "Russian Churches":
Each image in this montage stands alone as a wonderful image. Together,
they tell a story of how important religion was in pre-revolutionary
Russia. That a relatively impoverished country could muster the
resources and will-power to construct such beautiful churches is
awe-inspiring.
While you chose to include the most spectacular part of each building
(the spires) in each image, you portrayed the diversity of each to show
each one as a unique structure. The different colours in the spires,
and the varying patterns of them is quite beautiful. I'm guessing that
you used different focal length lenses to get a different perspective of
each one, and you did that very effectively. I especially like the long
shot of the Church of Our Savior of the Spilt Blood, reflected of the
water in the foreground. It contrasts nicely with the close-ups of the
other spires.
The lighting (looks like later in the afternoon?) of the aforementioned
long shot, along with the two at the bottom is particularly dramatic.
All in all, a lovely work. Thank you.
regards,
frank
