The Illinois State Capitol, a photo from Illinois, Midwest

Photographer's Note

I am going to add a few photos of State Capitol buildinigs after my trip which I did a couple weeks ago. I already posted a Capitol of Michigan and Iowa in the past. During those trips I like to visit a historical objects because they teach me more about our beautiful country.

The Illinois State Capitol, located in Springfield, Illinois, is the capitol and seat of government of the U.S. state of Illinois. The current building is the sixth capitol to serve the state since its entry into the United States in 1818. The current capitol is in the architectural style of the French Renaissance. The capitol was designed by Cochrane and Garnsey, an architecture and design firm based in Chicago, Illinois. Ground was first broken for a new capitol on March 11, 1869, and it was completed twenty years later for a total cost of $4,500,000.

Hello Zbigniew -

This is a nice image but there are a few thing holding it back. This image lacks contrast; it has a flat almost hazy look to it. (The highlights and the shadows are too close to each other.) There is a color cast; the overall look of the image is a bit green IMO. Try capturing a scene like this early in the morning or late in the afternoon when you get the golden light of the sun on the subject.

Thank you for sharing.

John
