I usually observe this familiar copper/bronze clad Saint Paul structure as part of the skyline, this night view up close from across Summit Ave is very good. I love the rich b&w rendering you have made which brings memories of the few times I visited it for special Christmas concerts with my father - to attend the symphony/w choir to hear Handel. A great local landmark both outside and in. Very good work.

Wow! great shot! You've captured a really good feel for this building.

Great architecture!

I can see this is on a hill, and it is probably an optical illusion, but the building looks like it is tilting to the right a bit.

Have rated this shot highly though. Good luck!

So clear and sharp, wonderful. I would appreciate knowing what equipment you used to get this, and waht technique you used to get the tonal range so perfect.

Slightly skewed and not very sharp, but it has nice detail. Successfully shows off the elegant grandeur of this building.

Good viewpoint and cropping. I also like that you choose to have it a monochrome. The cars really help to get the scale of the building. Good work. -8

Good focus and exposure. None of the lights are blown out and you managed to capture the detail of the building nicely. The black and white works too.

Beautiful! Razor sharp ... which is not so easy at night. Levels, white points and black points are very very good. Good subject for the challenge and well composed. I was going to nit pick a bit about the pickup truck in front of the church. But the more I think about it, I think it's okay. It provides scale and it provides an intellectual point of contrast that compliments the contrast of the rest of the photo. Among my top picks.
