 46mm lens. I couldn't think of anything unusual for this challenge, and I know I didn't want to submit a tree branch, and so I thought of this & ran over to Newport to take it. The lighting was excellent, as it was right before sunset.
This building was the main branch for Campbell County Library system until last year, when they moved to a larger, newly-built facility, with not as much character.... This was one of the first libraries built in Ky, thanks to Andrew Carnegie.

Nice subject and composition, but the lighting seems harsh.

Nice picture. I would have liked to see less of the sky and more of the stairs.

That's an awkward crop at the bottom of the shot.

I like the black and white effect which seems to give more of an old building effect.
