  Great eye for seeing this Chris -I love the simplicity, but the differences in tonality from the curves in the ceiling and the impact of the light!

  I saw your post on hopefuls Christopher so I came looking to find it! The composition is wonderful and the exposure truly shows the exquisit craftmanship of this ceiling! Wow, Russia, what an amazing adventure for you!

  Making this my favorite of your April entries, Chris -- just love the subtle white on white patterns and lines here. Exposure is right on. My other favorites were Washington DC (an oft photographed monument and reflection, beautifully framed by the cherry blossoms and the whole is perfectly composed), Love Detail (I know it did not score an EP but I would encourage you to resubmit) and Still Life with Ties (I know the set-up is not yours but I just love it and the bold colors, too, and your exposure and framing are right on). Good luck
