The Palace of the Parliament in Bucharest, Romania is a multi-purpose

building containing both chambers of the Romanian Parliament.

According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the Palace is the

world's largest civilian administrative building, most expensive

administrative building, and heaviest building. The Palace was

designed and nearly completed by the Ceauşescu regime as the seat of

political and administrative power. The Palace measures 270 m by 240

m, 86 m high, and 92 m under ground. It has 1,100 rooms, 2 underground

parking garages and is 12 stories tall, with four additional

underground levels. c

 

The structure combines elements and motifs from multiple sources, in

an eclectic neoclassical architectural style. The building is

constructed almost entirely of materials of Romanian origin. Estimates

of the materials used include one million cubic meters of marble,

3,500 tonnes of crystal — 480 chandeliers, 1,409 ceiling lights and

mirrors were manufactured; 700,000 tonnes of steel and bronze for

monumental doors and windows, chandeliers and capitals; 900,000 m³ of

wood; 200,000 m² of woollen carpets; velvet and brocade curtains

adorned with embroideries and passementeries in silver and gold.

Thanks.

The light is very good as well the beautiful colours and contrast. I like the cars in the front and how well these are presented and composed in the picture. Very good image indeed. (I had an opportunity to visit this building a few years ago, truly an impressive experience). Best regards.

Excellent work!

Frumos si atat. Poate din cauza ca am vazut de prea multe ori imaginea asta la prea multa lume, putini au incercat alte unghiuri care sa scoata din banal imaginea cladirii.

Perfect exposure
Best regards

Good night shot. The scene is rich with yellow, red and blue colors which goes well together. The light trails are well captured with  good continuous trails which is harder to get at road curves like this. There is some car blinker trails and they are a little bit distracting in my opinion but this is a hard to avoid problem at road curves in any way. Speaking of curves your idea of including the pavement at the bottom left corner is wonderful because it adds a good curve which in turn adds to the photo greatly. Having the building's upper center as the brightest part of it is a good approach but it has too much detail recovery I suspect because it is slightly grayish. This is a minor issue fortunately and I suspect can still see detail there. Maybe detail was not lost to begin with and you simply overdone burning. About burning I want to also say that I think it would be better if you burn the second left edge of the left side of the building which is more tall then the rest of the floor in order to add a little symmetry because the right side is more dark with a slashing shadow in the middle. I believe it would improve the image. I disagree with Gunnar Waht about parked cars adding to the photo but they don't subtract either. As  a conclusion I can say that this is one of the better night photos I saw at photo.net and I really enjoyed it. Congratulations.
