Helsinki Cathedral
by Lukas Ondrousek
A distinct landmark in the scenery of central Helsinki, with a tall green dome surrounded by four smaller domes, the church was built in 1830-1852, in neoclassical style. Today the cathedral is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Helsinki.
Equipment: Canon 400D + Tamron 17-50

Great mood/lighting. Well done.

The highlights of the lamps are very well managed. Is it HDR or blend or 2 exposures?
I also like the dramatic sky.
Pauline Jones
The lighting is very well balanced.

Nice picture, I would have given it more midtones brightness cause it looks a little bit dark. but on the whole its fine.

Interesting mélange of architectural styles. Nice pic. I especially like the cross and sphere on top and the small domes with stars and cross, all of which seem to ‘echo’ the light on the lamps below.

Stunning. I love the contrast of the lamps with the dark clouds and dullness of the Catherdral.

This goes beyond moody to creepy–could show up in one of those dracula books as a cover illustration!
Magnificent composition makes the building loom over us and forces us to look at the frightening sky. You really have a winner here!
