Salvo Palace - HDR Photo
Palacio Salvo (English: Salvo Palace) is a building in Montevideo, Uruguay, located at the intersection of 18 de Julio Avenue and Plaza Independencia. It was designed by the architect Mario Palanti, an Italian immigrant living in Buenos Aires, who used a similar design for his Palacio Barolo in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Finished in 1925, Palacio Salvo stands 100 metres high with the antenna included.
It was built on the site where the Confiteria La Giralda was once located, a place renowned for being where Gerardo Matos Rodríguez wrote his tango La Cumparsita, in 1917.
The building was originally intended to function as a hotel, possibly mixed with some private residential units. This did not work out, and it never functioned as a hotel. There is now a mixture of offices and private residences in the building.

Love the details and angle, however, would be better if you would avoid blue halos on the sky while you were tone mapping in pphotomatix... Cheers

Great composition, but the halo and the lack of sharpness make it an 8 for me.

Great! But I think the tower could be a more sharper.

Love the composition but there seems some blur in the tower.
