Composition wise it is a very good photograph using the rule of 3rds with 2/3 for the building and 1/3 space at the side. Exposure is spot on as well with full details in the clouds and no blown out highlights.
As for the building itself, I have seen a lot of architecture photographs and have never seen this place before. It is a lovely piece of architecture shot very well by Jenny.
The image is also very sharp and fully in focus, a very well chosen aperture of f/11 giving full depth of field, whilst at the same time not having a smaller aperture which would have created diffraction which would have made the image a lot softer.
Overall a technically good photograph, and aesthetically it is also very pleasing to the eye. Very nice work indeed. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="391" title=" (Smile)"/>
