 We travel to Austin, TX for Christmas every other year. My wife and I went to the capitol building. As a few noted, the sky was not fantasic on this particular day. However, I thought the shading in the clouds brought some interest.

I feel the foreground tree distracts. The building needs more crispness I feel to be a more impactful shot. 6

I really like what you've done with the tonality in this. It evokes an earlier time, amnd well at that......7

nice shot, but IMO the grayness of the day was working against you...make your picture to dark (under exposed), but you do have excellent clarity

good as a b and w, but nothing creative going on here...a tourist snap at best

The B&W works very well here. I'm used to seeing these monuments in color.

Framed nicely but a bit dull/underexposed.

Was this shot for the "Things Broken" challenge? :-) Really nice clarity on the dome here.
