It is a masterpiece of the Byzantine architecturer and considered as the 8th. Wonder of the world by most art historians.This church was converted into a mosque the day Istanbul was conquered by the Turks
yes indeed sultan Ahmed had made big changes with this church, i have studies the architecture of this masterpiece for over 2 weeks, since i know every angel of this structure i predict that you might had shown additonal details,although every thing is still caught amazingly together.
this is a very delicate soft work with nice colors and values...the towers and trees on the right seem to tilt a bit to the right... the composition would be better if the cathedral is placed a bit to the left
