Almost looks like an origami building. Beautifully done, you held what detail there is in those white towers and windows. One of San Diego's most unique buildings!

Could stand a bit of perspective correction, but I love the symmetry, it's almost perfect

This is a beautiful picture. Wonderfully composed, excellent color balance, visually pleasing. The trees really make a huge contribution, and take away what would otherwise be a very angular, edgy picture.

WOW! Beautiful scenery! For this challenge I would have liked to have seen a tighter crop on the palace.

Is this you, BradP? I'd know that Mormon temple anywhere, I shot it for the architetcs when i was a San Diegan... I suppose there may be other San Diegans in DPC of course...

This is shot with what we call "raking light", where one facet is fully lit and the light parallels the other facet. It typically works better closer-in, then we want to show details of surface texture. The overall effect ona white building at this distance of remove is a little flat; the picture would be stronger if there were somewhat less light on the semi-shadowed facade. Often the make-it-or-break-it point is only a matter of a couple minutes of shooting time.

The image suffers also from blocking up in the dark areas; a little work with curves or levels could make this much more luminous. I like the pure symmetry of the image.

I see this place on the way to San Diego from LA!!! I stopped there to photograph it once at night. I wish I had a wide angle lens like you have here! Great job! Nice symmetry! Great color and light!
