Very first member challenge. I hope this does okay and doesn't get the brown ribbon. :) And I hope people consider the framing natural enough.
Not too happy with the shot. It looks a little flat, like a drawing to me, so I expect to get some comments on that. I'm not sure what I did to make it that way, but maybe some comments will offer suggestions!

great framing. i'm not sure how many people realized the almost perfect symmetry you created, but also that you left the shot very dynamic with the building jutting off to the right. That flag pole is extremely unfortunate, and i believe the culprit in the flatness you mentioned. the shot draws the eye in so well and then the flag pole stops it. it also distracts the curve of the dome, which would compliment your arches oh so well. i do believe you have an eye for shooting "great photos", unfortunately the situation and lighting doesn't always cooperate. If you can't wait, Photoshop will help if you let it.
