Original - The
Reichstag building, or Reichstagsgebäude, was first constructed from 1884 to 1894 and housed the Parliament of the
German Empire. It was severely damaged by fire in 1933, partially refurbished in the 1960s, and then fully restored in 1990. It now houses the
Bundestag. The glass
dome was added in 1993 and designed by British architect
Norman Foster.
Reason
good detail, great photographic quality, just enough people to show it's frequented but not too many to detract from the view

Technically it is a good image, but I am not sure if the shadow helps here. Is it me or the lighting seems to make the building more impressive
here?

I don't personally think so, no, :) They both seem equally impressive, and I don't think the lighting in this one detracts at all. The shadow is not deep and doesn't cover very much of the building. To me, it actually helps emphasise the depth of the portico (which in many photographs has a tendency to look rather shallow and 2-D).

Support Great photo, I've tried to take exactly this photo so many times, and it always look cheap and tacky. How did you did it? With a tilt lens or something???
