Had some fun with levels on this one, much more then on my other submissions. Really whanted to grab that old feel of the building I actually took it at night but lightend it up.
This is one of four parts of my school, it covers language classes such as German, English and Danish. And belive me in winter (or even in the summers like seen on photo that really is snow) it gets unbelivably cold in there.
Don't have any idea how you all will like this, hope you all are digging the old feeling.

I like the perspective here and the old feeling you gave the picture. I wouldn't have guessed it was taken at night. I wish the line of trees came up a bit further to give more definition to the path that goes along the building.. perhaps cropping just a bit off of the left side so you don't see the end of the tree line? Well done... I think it should have scored higher than it did.
Well Krisby, I must say your work has greatly improved the past few months and I am quite impressed with this shot.
I really like the old feeling of this, it adds emotion to a shot of a building, which is an accomplishment in itself.
I see some noise in the sky, using a little neatimage could reduce that. Also there are some glowing edges around the pointed tops of the buildings that are a distraction. I think toning them down would help.
There is a tutorial on dodging and burning on this site that you could look into. If you go slightly easier on the levels, and the dodge the building a bit, you should be able to get the brightness and the details without blowing out the sky.
I like the perspective, it's interesting and leads the eye beyond the building, which makes viewers think for a second instead of just taking a quick glance.
Don't let the 5.3 get you down, I personally feel that this deserves closer to a 6 than that. Good work. It's nice to see you experimenting.
