I can easily imagine why the works lasted 10 years. The reach interior speaks for itself. This is an excellent capture of architecture and art one and a half century ago. It is very informative. Your additional comments are greatly appreciated.
The capture is clear, well focused, and has fine colors. Could you try to straighten the photo? I believe the capture would benefit from it even if it means to crop some more of the icons. I think the horizontals of the ledges or the step in front of the door would be a good level. Maybe the vertical at the door as well.

Another fantastic presentation - excellent initial impression, could look forever into details and the artistic ornaments of this church
excellent composition - looking like a gateway to the unknown with the 2 Archangels as guardians of the gate

excellent focus , your picture is clear and sharp and I think your have found the perfect indoor lighting to show even all details and fine textures

a very attractive picture, well framed, well balanced and interesting in story and content, well seen Annie

What an ornate and beautiful church. I know there are a lot of Baroque style churches in Europe. I visited almost 40 years ago when I was in college. This kind of reminds me of those churches. I used to be Catholic so I know they like to have beautiful architecture in their churches and statues. All technical aspects are excellent.

A very beautiful picture showing the interior of this beautifully ornate Greek Orthodox Church the gate I think leads into the sanctuary. The Icons & & gilded decorations are beautiful & with your beautiful lighting, superb camera techniques & sharp focus we can see them all in finest detail. Thanks for sharing it with us.

What a stunning scene of the ornateness of this church. That is one thing about the Eastern Rite Church, the gold's used to show reverence are an awe inspiring sight to behold. One becomes reverent ate the sight almost immediately (at least I do). Very well done Annie - Steve
