 I just can't resist! I've already won a ribbon with this museum and I just can take enough photos of it! This is a new perspective with a 90 degree rotation to make it look like slides. :-)

I adjusted curves for the sky separately. Some burning ans USM on the building then NI for the sky.

Voilà! Hope to make the top 10!! :-)

Congrats on a well deserved ribbon! I new this photo would place when I first saw it. It really is amazing how a simple rotation could totally change the perspective of an image. Well done.

Congrats. And "slides", in deed, is what I thought it was when it first started to open on my screen.

Excellent work! I love the detail you've captured here. DOF is right on. I'll be curious to see the equipment used (lens, settings) and post processing. Good luck! 9

A wonderful black and white. I love this shot. It what I call a perfect shot. It all ballanced, the lighting, shadowing, frameing. Great job!

Very intriguing image, I would like to have seen a figure or some sort of recognisable feature in the picture somewhere to give me an idea of scale.
Good composition and lighting

Beautiful! The structure itself is enhanced so much by the quality of light and the cloud in the sky provides a perfect backdrop. You've chosen the time of day so well. Composition, sweeping down from the top left to the lower right corner, is very strong. This is wonderful.

I'm not sure what this is, but, I bet it's not slides. Great lighting and POV. Good luck with it, I'll bet you're in the top 10.

Awesome B&W treatment. Love the curves. By turning this image on its side you have created something very appealing and with the sky's darkening tone it's even better. The sahdows also add interest to the shot. By far one of my favourites for this challenge.
