St. Basil`s Cathedral Moscow

I have seen so many photographs of this building, and for such a architectural marvel, they almost always look dreary. I love how the whimsy and color has been captured and then amplified with the reflection on the water. The texture of the bricks beneath the water. It looks like a fairytale castle in which you want to explore every room, turret, and tower.

It is by far the most unique photo of this building that I have come across. The time of day, the weather, all of the external factors lined up perfectly to make this image so stunning. I like the contrast of the warm colors on the building with the cool purples and blues of the sky above and reflecting pool below. Even the clouds line up in a nice way to accent the peak of the structure.

My only negative critique is the building on the right detracts some of the focus. If it had been cropped to the last tree on the right to leave out the tower and light pole, it would pull your eyes to the center.

All in all a wonderfully beautiful piece with stunning colors.
