What a unique looking building. I wouldn't mind attending church there. Do you have any idea how old a building it is??

Beautifully composed photo...I really like the autumnal color palette....and that is some amazing sky you've captured in the background. Your photo is perfectly sharp...details are crisp and clear throughout. I like that you have included a bit of greenery and rocky ground at forefront.

Really well done. Best of luck in the contest.

Thank you so very much for the lovely review Deborah. I tried to look it at how old it is, but never found anything. It is however at least 500 years old.

In which country was this taken?

A very dramatic and excellent shot of the church due to the black and stormy sky

Good luck with the contest and thanks for sharing

Aptly captured for the contest theme...
Subtle illumination.
Soft silhouette.
An artistic rendition. Monochromatic colors. Excellent details & features. Impressive strokes & textures. Thanks for sharing... Best of luck in the contest!

I miss your insightful views too!

of course, it is much smaller and less decorated than the well known Hagia Sofia in Istanbul; but it looks interesting and huge, lost near a small village;
a very nice and interesting capture;

I like this work because it is so classical in its concept and execution and in its atmosphere; The light, colour and the composition have worked well. Good luck!

What a surreal looking image with an ominous looking sky. Excellent clarity and color. Dramatic lighting surrounding this church with great framing and visual impact. Well done. ~Alveria

Lovely back lighted photo with the sun behind the old church. Like the dark muted colors teasing visible in the foreground. Your photo shows pleasantly inviting place that I would like to explore.

A beautifully composed shot. I like the line of the trees that tells of the slope of the land. Very dramatic light in the sky and beautiful colors. Best of luck in the voting.

what a great backdrop..the sky is awesome and works brilliantly with this subject..it reenforces its mystical feel, a lovely structured shot with a great sharp focusing and real depth presented through the dark tones and with the little light bouncing off the upper walls
