A lot of correction, and dodgin' and burnin' involved with this photograph.

Fortnightly competition worthy, to say the least. On second thought, don't enter. You would embarrass the rest of us.
Fantastic one, specially the mono treatment.

Martin.

Glorious picture of a glorious building!
What more can I say?

Thanks guys.

Martin, i've lost the exif data to this, so no worries. Thanks.

Wonderful Black and White...NICE!

Thanks Judith.

This is a very classical style of black and white photography that would not have been out of place at any time over the past century. Timeless.

I think it could be better, with just a couple of thoughts as to how. A difficulty with the scene is that the main subject is darker than the background and blocks our view of the lighter areas. Lighter areas catch our eye, so our eye goes to the background on the left.

The light is coming from the right and illumnating that building, so at this time of day I would be wanting to move around and photograph the light building against that wonderful sky.

If you want the statue, then either light it with flash to get some detail into it or choose a different time of day when it has some light falling on it.

Now those suggestions may or may not give you the style of photograph you want, if so please disagree, but there are some general principles there which I hope might assist.
