This is a beautiful portrait. Very soft feel to it with just enough grain to make it perfect. The lighting rules here!!! Hope this next week goes better for you.

I love seeing high quality restorations of historic buildings...IMO even better if they can be returned to the public domain rather than becoming simply condos for a few, but even if they do become apartments then at least everyone will be able to see the magnificence of this structure.

I love the architectural contrasts here of the stunning brickwork (which has a feeling of Victorian opulence) and the silo and 'bridge' which are plain and functional (but still possess their own strange beauty). the chimney on the right gives a nice counterpoint in terms of height and width.

Thank you so much for posting the old picture as well just so people can appreciate the change that has been made

I was shocked to see this here. Absolutely lovely perspective, great light reflecting in the windows. It really has a little bit of everything, especially where Architecture is concerned!

MMmmmm! nice subject good photography, IMHO if you had moved the camera to the left and aligned the chimney with the edge of the frame the inward distaution would have disappeared, which is what I believe cost you a lot of higher scores. If you remember we discussed this in the earlier challenge when you did this shot, but in basic you can not do what you could then.

It so interesting to see the difference with the paint removal. A closer viewpoint may have scored higher, but I like seeing the whole affair. It is a grand building and I look forward to seeing it as it progresses! I love those little spots of color in the upper tower.

This is truly inspiring. The centering of the bird is the ONLY way to do this shot. Outstanding.
