Thank you, Kevin. I'm glad you like it. I did blend together a couple of photos taken at the same time without moving my tripod. The clouds moved around in between causing the light to change. (I was chatting with the owners of house for quite awhile while I tripped the shutter every now and then.) The cloud cover was generally very diffuse so the light was quite soft. What I also did, was use a plugin program I have which is called "Mystical Lighting" to deepen the shadows on the right of the domes and then I added a highlight on the other side. That's the highlight you're seeing. The original looked a little flat to me so I wanted the curved nature of the building to show up more. By doing that it looked to me like I have often seen it, with light breaking through a cloud cover and shining on just a part of the building - although perhaps I may have overdone it a bit. Anyway, that's the story of that. I'm so glad you like it.
All the best,

Ok...I'm glad someone else asked the question...I almost did without reading through all the posts.
It's a great shot and I think you did a good job putting it all together, but in my mind you can tell it was pieced together and/or a heavily processed single shot...I'm not sure if it's a good or bad thing, but overall I do like the end result.
I just find it frustrating to see a shot like this and see people get discouraged or have them feel inferior because they can't take a shot like this when they didn't know it wasn't a single shot that wasn't heavily post-processed.
