I took this this morning as I dodged the showers.
Used transform to straighten up the building. Replaced the bleached out but overcast sky with one from a shot a few minutes later.

The building has loads of character and supplementing in a stormy sky really adds a fantastic angle of drama. If I were to nitpick, then I might say that for myslef the angle looks a little awkward. I personaly feel that the angle needs to be more extreme if you were looking for interest through perspective, or to be front on looking either up or down... but that may just be me.

Ah, Ballarat, where the streets were once awash with Gold, and the Grand Achitecture still remains..........
On my screen, I can see artifacts through the sky from the PP. these don't seem to be evident (or at least as noticeable) in the rest of the image. Might be a result of the process you did with the different sky, but I like the dramitic look of it contrasting against the solid historic building

Amazing job on that sky, especially with those trees! The blue flags really brighten the image.

Great job replacing the sky. I'd never have know if you hadn't mentioned it. The added drama really makes this image stand out.

Nice job of sky change with this. I would bet that building looked even more imposing when it was first built.

When I saw that sky I thought for a moment it was England lol
