Churchill Downs Main Entrance. I pass this every day going to work. Very cloudy and cold today in Louisville. We had our first measureable snowfall of the season overnight...a whopping 1/2 inch!!!

Nice shot. I'm not sure I agree with the B&W comments. I like the color in the lettering and sculptures.

I like the focus on the name across the top of the building and the way you have filled most of the frame with the building really makes it more dramatic!

An interesting looking building....not too sure what Churchill Downs is....maybe a Race Track? Just guessing from previous threads ;oD.

Oops, I don't know what Churchill Downs are? Wonder how it would look in black and white (but then I almost always do -GRIN!)

Derby time is awesome in Louisville!!! Derby week is filled with so many wonderful events, all with great photo oppertunities. I think I've made it to all the big events over the years except one.......The Derby!

I have ALWAYS wanted to go to Churchill Downs for the Derby. One of my dreams since I was little. I love the green and gold.

Oh, I'm so excited to be getting to see more Louiville photos! The most special magical time in my childhood was when we lived in Ft. Knox. My best friend and I are even going back to relive our childhood at the end of May. In the meantime, yours and Mystopia's 30 days are going to give me a wonderful fix to hold me :)

Great photo. So clean and crisp. It looks cold!

Many many years ago we went to Churchill Downs (actually probably about 26 years ago, my God am I getting old). My husband never would let me go back. LOL. I don't remember the setting, I just remember the betting! Just for the record, I walked away with more money than I started with.
Nice shot, thanks for the memories.

Nice color rendition and clarity - especially in the center.

Suggestions for improvement (IMHO): It's too centered and focused on the sign. I'd shoot it a bit wider to get more of the building in.

thats cool! maybe zoom out to get more of the building, I dunno though it looks pretty good to me.
