This is the "old" Lapeer County Courthouse. When I was young it was the oldest "in use" courthouse in Michigan and the third oldest in the U.S.. It has since been retired but saved for all to see by the Historical Society and it houses the county museum.
Photo was brightened, cropped, sharpened. It was snowing when I took this shot, I decided to leave it and not edit out the snow so I suppose I'll get a lot of comments about sensor dust.

the color relationship between the building and the sky bothers me a bit. Perhaps getting this at another time of day might help out.

Very unteresting approach and cool building. I think the whites may be a little hot for me. It almost looks cut out as well, as the whites seem TO perfect, and it seems to have some reflection of blue around the outside lines of the building. Regardless, nice shot and good work!

A nice building but it sems overexposed and the slight tilt is distracting

where have all the shadows gone? Too bright, missing interest, composition cutting off windows and a plaque is distracting

good perspective. Seems a bit overexposed.

That sky is way too blown out.
