Fine shot, Rajan. Love the lighted interior visible through the door.

The link light gives a soft look that I'm very fond of. As noted by Russ, the lighted interior makes it even better.

The quiet beauty, not at all flamboyant, is what we have come to expect from Rajan.

Excellent light, we had something like it on the snow here this morning.
The building feels like it is leaning a little to the right.
-
Russ, Francois, Eric, Scott - thanks.
Scott - good catch! Fixed now.

It's very beautiful but I wonder if the verticals aren't a little over-corrected. It looks as if it's bursting out at the top. Could just be me, of course.

Thanks, Jeremy. I am not sure I agree. I try not to make the lines entirely vertical in cases such as these. But I recognize that there are differing views on how much correction is appropriate. The main correction here was done via the Tilt-Shift lens not in post-processing.

The building may not be perfectly "square". A few years ago, I tried to correct a shot of a tuscan farm and I never managed to get it right. Last year I returned and could notice that nothing in the construction was really parallel or vertical or square…

The issue of the "squareness" of a building reminds me of a time many years ago when I was working for a small research company located in a colonial era New England house. One large room in the house was the library, which had a ceiling probably about six feet and six inches high at one side, tapering to about five feet ten inches on the other side. I could tell, because I was about six feet two inches tall with plenty of clearance on the high side of the room only.
When the house was built, I suspect that a tall guy worked on one side of the house while a shorter guy worked on the other side, each using his "elbow to finger tip" as a measuring device. In spite of this peculiarity, the house was solid, having lasted over two hundred years when I worked there.
Hmmm. Maybe a little Photoshop wizardry could fix that house. ;)
