Original - The Main Quadrangle at the University of Sydney
Edit 1 - Shadows lifted 20% and highlights lowered 8%
Reason
This is the oldest and most prominent building of the University of Sydney. The jacaranda tree in the corner of the quadrangle (a very important tree to the community) is in full bloom - associated with examination season. Thus I think this has crucial EV in the article about the university. The photograph meets all the technical criteria, at high resolution, and I think it is a pleasing overall composition. Some cylindrical distortion is obviously neccessary to represent the inside of a quadrangle, but here it serves to enhance the prominence of the bell tower, so I think it's good in a way. Also, I got lucky with fantastic cloud patterns.
