Yep, used a polarizer to get the very dark sky. Other than that, just converted to b/w and did the usual resize and sharpen.

Good work with bright light - nice tonal range from dark to light. Must have used a polarlizer too? Great dark sky. Nice composition with the 90 degree angle at the bottom contrasting with the soaring curve of the dome.

I really like the fine detail and perspective in this shot, also your B&W conversion compliments the shot well.

How PRETTY!!!!! I love the close-up angle you used. It makes the clean, crisp detail just pop. It looks almost like a night shot, but then. . .the light on the building looks like daylight. Amazing! Very impressive!

Using a new formula....
0-2 Meets the Challenge = 2
0-2 Technical Merit = 2
0-4 Interest/Creativity = 4
0-2 The "wow factor" = 2
Final score: 10
