her majesty, Tsminda Sameba, a photo from Tbilisi, East

Photographer's Note

THIS IS A RE-POST PHOTO. I TRIED TO REMOVE ALL THE GRAIN, ENCHANCE THE SKY, IMPROVE SHARPNESS, PLAY WITH SHADOW/HIGHLIGHTS... SO HOPEFULY IT'S ACCEPTABLE NOW

gracious but huge, in appearance beautiful and brutal, carved and still unfinished.
big big church in Tbilisi, was still under construction when I visited it

grain on a photo was caused mainly by wrong ISO settings when I took it there, but as a benefit, we see more interesting colors and photo is almost free from the shadows and strong sunlight effects.

so, enjoy it here, and visit it for yourself!

Georgia is wonderful!

Hello Marko,
Great photo - I really like the sepia style processing of this photo, it is very appropriate. The framing of the subject and composition is excellent also. Thanks for sharing,
Jules

Marko,

Normally I don't enjoy cropped subjects but I like the geometry behind this composition. I hadn't seen the original but I think your choice to go with sepia tone was smart. The tones look great to me and the grain adds to the texture.

Hi Marko - I haven't seen the original, but I find nothing wrong with this one, I like how the new shiny copper roof almost looks like it's covered with snow, the sepia gives a nice vintage quality to a very new building.

Beautiful use of the frame and the use of tint and tone to bring out the detail in the stonework. Everything adds to the final finished image. nIce job

Witaj,
I like composition of Your photo - parts of the building proportional, and divided black lines of the roofs. Sepia and frame make estetic impression.Good shot.
