I wish our new town halls looked like that. Nice light. G

I like the composition, but find the colour rather artificial. If colour photography sucks, try B&W without the Photoshoppery. Good B&W is much more difficult to do well, so should present plenty of challenges. And I do agree about much colour toggery.
