Photographer's Note
The Orthodox Church of St. Michael and St. Constantine (Lithuanian: Šv. Konstantino ir Michailo Cerkvė) is a Russian Orthodox church in Vilnius, Lithuania. It was built in 1913 to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the Romanov dynasty. It was built by I. Kolesnikov, and incorporates the Rostov and Suzdal architectural styles. On its consecration day of May 13, the church was visited by the former royal figure Grand-Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna, known at the time of consecration as "Sister Elizaveta", now a martyr within the Russian Orthodox Church. With its luxuriously decorated exterior and fanciful interior, this is one of the most splendid Orthodox churches in Vilnius.
A few years ago this church had green domes.

Hi Piotr,
The golden domes are an eye-catcher. The point of view is showing the details of the Orthodox church of St,Michael and St.Constantine. It is lcear and precise. Have a nice day.

Hello Piotr, the shadowed edges frame the church beautifully, and accentuate the light shining on the golden domes.
Perfectly sharp, your point of view is excellent.
And of course the blue sky is the best background!
Regards Jean.

Hi Piotr,
There were so many churches in Vilnius, but I do not recall seeing this one before. I like the onion domes and the blue bg sky. Good sharpness too. Tfs!

cześc Piotrze, ciekawy kadr. Nie pamiętam, czy widziałam ten kościół z zielonymi, czy ze złotymi kopułami.
Zabawne, ze teraz ja zaczęłam jeździć z biurami, a ty chwalisz samodzielną podróż :).
Świetne światło, ciekawe cienie.
Pozdrawiam MAłgorzata

Hello Piotr,
I don't remember if this church had green or golden domes in 2013. These domes in any case match the colour of the façade and towers very well. The photo is perfectly sharp and well exposed and I enjoy the tiny inclusion of ordinary buildings in the corner. Light and colours are fantastic.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Piotr,
The blue sky is the perfect backdrop for the golden domes of the orthodox church. The sharpness and clarity are amazing, the details of the façade are also really clearly seen. Great job.

Bonjour, cher Piotr,
Je ne sais plus quoi dire en admirant ces architectures très particulières.
Ces trois bulbes d'or forment une sorte de couronnement de cet édifice.
Magnifique.
Amitiés.

Hi Piotr,
Impressive old church. And your framing with shadow on the bottom and tree on the left is excellent. I especially like those decorative details under arches.

Well framed picture, Piotr. The black shadow makes a great element in the composition. Also that bit of the houses in the right bottom corner is really good. A well balanced picture, tfs.

Piotr, the golden domes belonging to that Orthodox church draw the new visitors attention. I like their bulbous shapes reminding onions. Splendid architecture, good light.

Hi Piotr
A magnificent Eastern Orthodox Church and a good pick out with strong detail and impressive shooting angle. It is particularly wonderful golden light - magical moment- on the golden domes that strikes the eye straightway, perfectly matched by that fine blue sky as backdrop. An exquisite shot of fascinating architecture backed by your good narrative, Congrats.
Best regards
