Nicely done architecetural shot, Jean. Nicely composed. good exposure control. I think the B&W convefrsion works well too -- it helps brings out the details and shapes. My only nit is along the bottom -- it's hard to get the bottom of the building with objects in the way and people walking by; I think your crop here is good, but, unfortunately, we can see it is a crop. Maybe a tripod and a long exposure could elminate the moving objects?
