 The dome of Our Lady of Victory Basilica. Shot taken around noon, unfortunately. I like how the lower angles lead up to the dome; I hope the voters do, too...
At the time of its construction (1925), this dome was the second-largest in the U.S., after the dome of the Capitol.
Toned down the exposure on the RAW in RSE. In Photoshop, cropped, slight USM, resized, slight USM.

I like all the different angles in this picture. It gives the photo a lot of interest, as well as some contrast to the many different layers seen here. Nice job.

The sky appears a bit dark to me at the top. I do like the composition though. The shadows draw your eyes upwards towards the top of the roof. Had the sky been less dark, the roof would have stood out more making the subject pop more.
