You have really set this off with the sky and shading down the front of the building. Great photo and post work.
I have a few of the same from a trip to Paris but I doubt I could achieve this standard.
Cheers

Great shot. Looks like your bit of work on it worked very well. The building looks lovely and sharp and you've got some great detail. Sky looks good too

thanks mause, the sky was quite bland so i knew when i took it, it would need the hdr treatment to spice it up a bit and of course buildings benefit from it too

Nice image. The HDR has enhanced the gothic look of the building. You say it was a flat sky but your editing has really brought the best in it. Good job.

Is that Esmeralda I see waving from the top of the tower

Hi Dave. . I think that the sky is very good.. like what the HDR treatment does to the buildings with a lot of texture brings it out even more so. Thanks for sharing ..
Cheers
Else
