What a pretty dome! The colors are wonderful and the design is great. You even get the line effect on the dome part as you should in a shot like this. The cropping leaves me wanting though, the cutting off of the top and the building on the left are really distracting. A 6 to start but am raising it to a 7

Like the lighting on this one. I might have framed it a bit higher, I'd like to see the thing on top of the dome.

Very grand image. Tones evoke sacredness to me. I kind of wish you'd either have cropped the little tower off completely and even some of the dome, or left it all on. Colors and shadows work so nicely here.

I like the color of this photo but to me it seems just a hair not straight which is distracting. Otherwise a very good photo.

Beautiful dome, nice color and light - but the picture is so tightly composed I feel I want to see more - I want the picture to go somewhere - the top of the dome, or down to the people at the ground, I feel blocked in by that wall on the right.

Amazing building. I have seen parts of this before and would like to go there. The blue and the sunset lighting is very nice.

Very nice church, I like the pattern on it. Nice color and contrast.
I supposed you\'ve taken the shot in the evening or morning... Well Done.
