This building wasn't there when I went to school at the U in the 70's.

This building loses a LOT of detail at 72dpi and 150K limit on file size. Save for web only gave me a 76 quality.

In the original, you can clearly read FREDERICK on the cornice below and to the left of that left hand rounded window.

Truly a unique building.

Wacky, one of the better shots of metal architecture, other images in this challenge are too blown out in the sunlight, but this is on the dark side and makes the detail stand out better.

Very different, I love the way the light is reflecting on the building.

A straight-on shot like this becomes all about the subject, and that is one ugly building. A good photo to put in a travel album.

Weird building. You did a very nice capture of the metal walls on this one. Great detail on the puckered walls.

Great image. Many people tried to photograph buildings with similar materials but so far you are the only one to get it correct. You choose the right time of day buecause unlike the others you have not a single blown out highlight. Great job.
