  • LudaNayvelt replied

    this place is Gorgeous, but my friend do not go there any more, they do not like new constrictions, and what New Russians did to the area, Maybe I download some shots from there. It’s used to be just a park with some food place before, now all very expensive condo there and entertainment for people with a lot of money

    Quite a colorful capture. Anyone can take a picture, it’s the after processing that makes it unique. Great job.

    Love this Luda. The original is very good, however this falls into the great catagory.

  • LudaNayvelt replied

    Hello Jim. thanks for comments. I am personally love original as is out of camera, but I was playing with different processing , and peoples seem to be like it, or they are just nice to me. So I done another image with very similar effect and publish 2, and one which is more close to original win. This and Little church was taken in the same day & light was pure magic
