Lovely St. Petersburg

Here's some of my photos from last-year journey in the cultural capital of Russia. I would love to read some comments.

Wonderful city indeen though I've never been there personaly. What about the photos. I think the narrow strip of buldings between almost grey sky and the river of the same colour doesn't look well on the photos 1 and 2. The 3 is my favorite though it looks soft I would underexpose it a little and use narrower aperture to make street lights more attractive.

I guess you need to learn one simple but important thing: camera sees differently. What you see as a breathtaking panorama, camera sees as a narrow strip of buildings somewhere far away.
Get a book about composition and read about the importance of fore- middle- and background, perspective etc

I know it is not easy to capture an unknown city that you visit for several days, but if you want to see this place in all its glory, the top guy is Alexander Petrosyan:
