 Texas Capitol Rotunda. A very miserable, cloudy day so good, even light.

Very little processing, levels, curves, hue/sat then sharpening from the original RAW file.

Gordon? Looks like one of his photos. Beautiful lambent lighting on this dome.

You are right. This looks better at this brightness. I thought it might be better darker, but not so. Very lovely. A 9.

Back for comments - this is a work of pure art. The smoothness of the tones and the high key effect is extremely effective. Should do well...good luck!

Love how the colurs blend in seamlessly. The eye gets drawn to the star. A tranquil picture

This is ALL about light. The architecture, the composition, the camera and the processing. I've seen a photograph of this dome before, not looking quite so pale. So I'll be interested in the comments of that photographer (if it ain't you, of course). 8

Almost too high key for my tastes, but impressive nonetheless.

I LOVE the muted colors here. It's so "easy" to stare at. I may have to bump this one!

Nice shot of the dome. There are so many "star lights" in the Texas Capitol that would have worked here (like the chandeliers in the Senate), but this is probably the most classy one.

Very nice. I think however that if the image had been a little darker and deeper, it might have had more impact.

They don't come any more luminous than this. Subtle and rewarding balance of cool and warm. High key at its best.
