Fascinating image - especially since the clouds mimic the architecture. Gorgeous colors and great sharpness.

Wow, what beautiful colors and tones you've captured here. Light is great and I love the way the clouds work as a backdrop. (Not voting, just commenting.)

What a beautiful building and a gorgeous sky as well.

This wonderful photo may likely have scored at least a full point or two higher had you applied some selective sharpening to it, or perhaps a little more than you did.

  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 05:09:32 PM
The choice for this building was great, so as the sky. I just think that the colors of the building could be better, because they'r kind of dead in my opinion. I'm sorry if i was rude. Good luck!

I like looking at this. You've done a great job on the whites without over exposing. In fact the exposure over all is very good. Hope you'll tell us where it was shot.

The palace was beautiful. As he sat down in front of his easel, his pastels laid out beside him, he smiled a sad little smile. Mankind was capable of such beauty sometimes, so why was it that they were also so capable of ugliness? How could one gaze at something like this, created as a monument to imagination and other-worldly power, and then go off and start and fight in the constant wars that humanity seemed always to be engaged in?

He sighed and shook his head. Perhaps there was no answer. Perhaps humanity needed the ugly in order to appreciate the beauty even more. It was not for him to decide.

For him, his only decision was in how exactly to capture this beauty and make it his own.

He began to sketch.
