This is a photo of St. George's Hall in Liverpool which many architectural critics believe to be one of the finest neoclassical buildings in the world.
The architect, Harvey Lonsdale Elmes , was only 25 years old when he won the commission yet he never saw it completed as he died of consumption at the age of 34.

I think St. George would be extremely pleased by your take of it. Talk about a dignified looking building...What a photo! and I'm big on my main computer, thank God ;)

Don't know how I missed this one. Beautiful angle to take it from and your b&w as usual is spot-on.
