Default Cliche Capitol

A typical shot of the U.S. Capitol but I thought it was worthy of a conversion. Comments and criticism welcome - always trying to learn.

Bob B - Certainly a different interpretation that is always a good idea to try on these standard, familiar subjects; thanks for the suggestion Curious, why leave in the whole right side and not just focus on the dome?

When I cropped it I wanted to see if the small center rectangle would look like a building. It did and to me it created a size comparison making the dome look huge. Perhaps I have an overactive imagination
