The repeated transitions from curve to circle to straight to curve -- ending with the symmetric star works out to be an excellent geometric composition. Good choice of angle and crop.

I really like the contrast in this. Nice work

Nicely composed, great geometry and composition. Nice conversion too. Has a light, airy feel to it.

I love architecture shots when done right and this one certainly is. I give this a 10, but one thing that I would like to see is the Texas star and letters burned some for more contrast. I'm wondering if a "USM contrast boost" as talked about here:

would help?

I like the composition and the b&w for this a lot. Very nicely done.

Lovely. Perfect processing, too. (not voting yet)

When they uncovered the lost city, they were amazed at how immaculate the architecture remained. Searching through the ruins, one of the archeologists happened to look up.

"Look!" He exclaimed to his fellows, "I think there is ancient writing there!"

Over the next few months, they struggled to translate the strange markings. In the end, they concluded that it was a mark of naming. That this place was the Astex, an off-shoot of another civilization they'd discovered far south of this place.

They never did realize that the shiny circular metal cutting tools they found weren't sacrificial in nature, and had actually been used to get horses to obey. In fact, they were just pretty useless archeologists all around.

I think our rotunda is one of the prettiest ever. :~)
