Dear Vladislav,
Wonderful capture. Perfect light and colours.
I have a question. In two weeks I'll be traveling to Moscow for a meeting. I have about 2 days to spare. Any advice and suggestions. Perhaps some do's and don'ts?
Best regards,
Frédéric

Vladislav Ponomarev Hi Frédéric,
Thanks for your comment.
In regard to your question - you are asking in very broad terms :-) If it's about where to go and what to see - I would advice just go walking in the center, around Red Square and down the main streets in that area. It's beautifully illuminated after the sunset. Also, you may want to walk down Arbat street, or visit Moscow City - a modern new built district with skyscrapers (perhaps the tallest in the Europe).
If you like shopping - I cannot help with that :-)
There are also nice parks with historical buildings (palaces, churches) in Moscow, but they are located quite far from the centre.
Also, there is a number of good restaurants. I best like this one: http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g298484-d739979-Reviews-Molly_Gwynn_s-Moscow_Central_Russia.html
You were also asking about don'ts - I'm not quite sure what you mean here. If it's about criminals, then I would say you're safe in a daylight almost everywhere (beware of pickpockets in a crowded places and at railway stations). In the evenings and nights, the center is also a safe place, as long as you walk down major streets.
Please contact me in case of any further questions :-)

Papafrezzo Dear Vladislav,
Thank you for the long reaction. Yes, these were the answers I was after.
Best regards,
Frédéric

fantastic image and exposure.

Vladislav Ponomarev Thank you. That was a blue hour, a few minutes before the sunrise, exposure was 1 second I believe.

Gorgeous color and really crisp focus--nicely done.

Vladislav Ponomarev Thank you. Colors and focus are not by me, but by the weather and time :-) Frosty air is so transparent...

Fine,beautiful,with great light and perspective.

Vladislav Ponomarev Thanks. As I said, all virtues of this picture are because of early wake up and weather and God, I just pushed the shutter button.
