Hello Teodora!
I like this nice photo!
Very good is there the symetric composition.
One I don't like is the piece of light in the down of the photo.
But it's my opinion.
REgards!

Hi Teodora,
Well done. I like the POV and the colors of the night. TFS. Cheers.

The Nation's House would be a slightly more close to the truth, in my humble opinion :) Always been amazed by the this giant, and by the way, since the destruction of Sept. 11 on the Pentagon this is the number one largest building in the world... :)

Hi again Teo, what a marvelous building !!! Human can make such great things when they want ! ;) This architecture is really brilliant, i love the result.
Must be amazing to see for real this construction with own eyes :)
