General Post Office (GPO), Dublin, Ireland.

"Built in 1818 halfway along O'Connell Street (formerly Sackville street), the GPO became a symbol of the 1916 Easter Rising. Members of the Irish Volunteers and Irish Citizen Army seized the building on Easter Monday (24th of April) and Patrick Pearse read out the Proclamation of the Irish republic from its steps. The rebels remained inside for almost a week, but shelling from the British eventually forced them out. Inside the building is a sculpture of the legendary Irish warrior Cuchulainn, dedicated to those who died for their part in the Easter rising."

Well I might not be one of the other four but I'm still a bit shocked...... I had it in my top three. Don't be too down though keep em coming like this and I'll keep voting them up there.

I'm kind of shocked...but at least four other people are as well, too! I bet that if this had a perspective adjustment making the shot a bit more vertical on the left side might have gotten you a couple more 10s, but I still think this is great as it is. :o)

An excellent study. I love the grainy feel to it, yet the roof seems very smooth and silky. The lamp has this amazing metalic sheen. The lighting is wonderful giving a gothic feel to it.

I might have removed the stains on the window with the clone tool but apart from that absolutely great. Very well done just beaten by one other shot in my opinion, a worthy 8 from me.

Title is bizzare and so is this scene, and thus make a good complement. I like the B&W treatment and overall the exposure is excellent as are other technical aspects of this dark, moody photograph. Well executed. 7

This is a very good architectural detail. It manages to include several of the significant design devices that help define this building, but the photograph still doesn't seem too crowded or contrived. And in addition to its challenge-related merits, it is also a very effective and original composition, well photographed and then processed in a fashion sympathetic to the subject. 8.
