This 1901 library building was funded by Andrew Carnegie, Pittsburgh PA steel baron.
Personal Critique:
Slight barrel distortion due to 0.45x lens adapter!
Tree branches on left edge are distracting!
Possibly a hair too much foreground.
Next time I will take one step back and shoot from one step left and right of where I was standing to see if I can eliminate the tree or get more of it in the shot.

People who comment are generous voters too. They mark high! I would like to see more comments from the grumpy half of the group though. Why do you vote so low?
A visually interesting building, and you chose a good angle to shoot it from. Good contrast and brightness, though a bit soft; some sharpening might help bring out the wonderful texture of the bricks.
cropping needs a little fix. overall very pretty photo. 8
update: the cropping on the right is good, but too much is cropped off from the left. maybe u purposely did it to get unwanted buildings off, but u sud try balance it off a bit. also as a personal taste, i would like more of the sky and ground too. have a nice day! the vote 8 still remains. good work.
