This is a nice setup but the focus is too soft for my taste... The shutter speed may have been a tad too long on this one? - setzler

Comment by Harz_Joerg:
Thanks for all the comments, especially the "what is it?"-comments.
Here's what it is:
It's the newly build archive of the "upper-mining-authorities" of northern Germany, located in Clausthal (Oberbergamt).
So it's a building containing all the files and books about mining dating back for maybe 400 to 500 years up to now.
Such a building does not need any windows, only at ground level there are some.
The architecture is extremely modern (the other side is even more interesting), because it sets a strong contrast to the main building that is more then 100 years old.

The window you see is actually some artistic addition to the building: on both side of the wall there is such a window and in the middle of the room there is nothing more then a table with a pile of books. Unfortunately I could not capture that well enough from below.

Thanx again for your interest.

Sweet photo! Shame that the focus is too soft to me. Still a good one!

This is such a cute idea and setup. Adorable dog. The quality is just lacking. He's out of focus. The lighting is good but I wouldn't crop so close to his chin on the bottom. I also don't think you need the frame.

A catchy title for a good image. Masterful rendition of tonal range. Detail in the shadows where it counts. Lively highlights without the glare. Lovely gentle grays in the sky. I really like the trunk squiggle beneath the big square. It breaks up the vertical lines very nicely. Superior talent in the B&W dept is evident.

The crop is a little too tight for my taste. I also think it needs a little more contrast. Not a bad photo and I do think that monochrome is well suited for this pic - Inspzil
