Comment by Stiger:
This works very well in B&W. Sharp where it needs to be and soft where it needs to be. Nice job.

I like this- a great range of tones and an good contrast range. This flower worked out great in B&W.

Hi Sarah, sadly I have to agree with the other that this is better than you leading lines entry but, glad you saved your best shot for us ;)

love the composition and with that big glass rook you held the exposure very well. B&W works well here. Looking at where the walls join this might be a tiny little bit tilted? Very nice :)

Textures, detail, & dof on the flower are really good. I like the lighting too.

Love the magnitude of this shot, and the graceful lines. The two individuals walking up the ramp gives a sense of scale to the shot. Good work.

Very good tones, and the sky is just exactly right in my opinion. You have described the scene with a very pleasing set of reverberating verticals, and the composition carries the weight of your parliament building with dignity.

An impressive building and well shot for exposure. As has been mentioned its not quite straight and maybe burning the clouds would add a little moodiness to the shot?

Delightful, how realistically this catches what one sees. In very few circumstances does the naked eye see bright whites as extra bright, but snow and ice give us one of those circumstances. I like what the ASE gave you here.

There seems something appropriate, given the subject matter, of the lines from the staircase and platform leading us into essentially nothingness. Excellent.
