Primate´s Square in Bratislava with Primate´s Palace (on the left) and Old Townhall. The Townhall is in reconstruction now, that's why you see only this black uninteresting space.

Primate´s Palace
Monumental palace construction was built in a period from 1778 to 1781. The New Classicist Primate´s Palace was the place where documents of European significance were signed and it now serves the Town Hall of Bratislava. St. Ladislavs chapel and the 17th century set of six tapestries from England can be seen here as well.

The Old Town Hall
The building of the Old Town Hall is an example of three historical styles applied in the town in a period of five centuries. On the front and inside the building architectural elements of late Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque styles are to be recognised. The City Museum situated in the Old Town Hall is the oldest one existing in Slovakia.

RP:
I changed the idea of a square photo, but I hope that my main idea of a photo with strong contrast is still there :)

+fixed verticals a bit (not too much because when I made it perfectly straight it lost a big part of its impression .. in my opinion)
+changed the sky(no particular reason..just an experiment and I liked it)
+tried to keep the dark atmosphere and the contrast between the sky and the square
+the black frame (it was said to me that the white frame I had before was distracting and I fully agree that this black one suits here much better)

Wonderful landscape. Great composition, POV and colors.
Beto Grein

Ay nice composition in fact. All the changes you made were perfect, but, due that I think this must be perfect in TrekLens.
Pamela

I love this photo, your idea is great, presenting different tones and colours, really an artistic post production. Well done Martin.
