Nice composition, but the quality lets you down.
Pretty nice, but you might want to tone down the yellows a bit
I like the subject, and the lighting....but the image seems a little blurry/smudgy.
Howdie stranger!

ituated at 1860 Santa Fe Avenue in Barrio Norte, the building was designed by the architects Peró and Torres Armengol for the empresario Max Glucksman (1875-1946), and opened as a theatre named Teatro Gran Splendid in May 1919. The ecleticist building features ceiling frescoes painted by the Italian artist Nazareno Orlandi, and caryatids sculpted by Troiano Troiani (whose work also graces the cornice along the Buenos Aires City Legislature.
The theatre had a seating capacity of 1,050, and staged a variety of performances, including appearances by the tango artists Carlos Gardel, Francisco Canaro, Roberto Firpo and Ignacio Corsini. Glücksman started his own radio station in 1924 (Radio Splendid), which broadcast from the building where his recording company, Nacional Odeón, made some of the early recordings of the great tango singers of the day. In the late twenties the theatre was converted into a cinema, and in 1929 showed the first sound films presented in Argentina.
The ornate former theatre was leased by Grupo Ilhsa in February 2000. Ilhsa, through Tematika, owns El Ateneo and Yenny booksellers (totaling over 40 stores), as well as the El Ateneo publishing house. The building was subsequently renovated and converted into a book and music shop under the direction of the architect Fernando Manzone; the cinema seating was removed and in its place book shelves were installed. Following refurbishment works, the 2,000 m² (21,000 ft²) El Ateneo Grand Splendid became the group's flagship store, and in 2007 sold over 700,000 books; over a million people walk through its doors annually.
Chairs are provided throughout the building, including the still-intact theatre boxes, where customers can dip into books before purchase, and there is now a café on the back of what was once the stage. The ceiling, the ornate carvings, the crimson stage curtains, the auditorium lighting and many architectural details remain. Despite the changes, the building still retains the feeling of the grand theatre it once was. The Guardian, a prominent British periodical, named El Ateneo second in its 2008 list of the World's Ten Best Bookshops. (5 years and 2428 days ago)
What a stunning looking place, as the photo started to download I was sure there had been a mistake, so I was delimited to see that it really was a library.
If I ever get to Argentina, that is one place I must visit.
This library is in Buenos Aires - Argentina...it's a great place. You can take a book, a coffee and stay there for a day...tks friiskiwi!
For the reason that the place - at first - does not looks like a library I put the "little history according to Wikipedia", so are no doubts that EL ATENEO is a library! Rgds to all!
I put at SBS two more photos, so all can be sure it's a library!
Wow! I want to go there...(#3 on my bucket list now). Beautifully captured!
Tks my friend, nice weekend!
Tks all for votes and for comment, wish a great week full of good energies and great clicks!
Wow, what a glorious place to have a library! I love theatres and when turned into a library....so much the better! Congrats on 1st place!

wonderful, but I guess they don't want visitors.
Ha ha ha! That was a good one, friiski! well, I suppose they don't
orrrrrrrrrrr... maybe it's to keep someone (or something) IN 
If animated, must be dead by now. If not, then what? A treasure? Got to pay the place a second visit!
Odd that it's completely barred, but then painted in such an attention grabbing way. Good find!
Thanks, JannaR
Must be a hot climate so doors can be opened for air without unwanted visitors coming in. Nice colours.
Thanks, BeSea

HDR is an art that is hard to get right, it is difficult to not get an artificial look.
Here is a link to a tutorial from a photographer, who in my opinion has perfected this art.
http://www.stuckincustoms.com/hdr-tutorial/
Dear friiskiwi... there is no HDR on this photo... the colors are like that... I have no knowledgement to use HDR and also, I do not like a lot this kind of effects.
hope you can beleive me, but this place is magic with these colors
Tks for the tutorial address... great one..fantastic
I checked the link and indeed, truly amazing
THX for the tip 
Of course I believe you.
I do not have another files from this place right now, but Monday surely I post another photos where all can see that the light from this place is realy on this way...ask all to wait for votes...
At SBS all can see more photos from the same place where the light is incredible. I confirm that no HDR was used. The only modification was a little bit of contrast due to the mentioned light. Now, all can choose, believe or not!
I don't know why you keep defending this photo. HDR is not against the rules, The reason I thought you had used HDR was because of 'white ghosts' around the branches and the heavily pixalate sky.
I'm sure the light is amazing where you took this photo, just trying to point out that you did something in the processing that did not improve the quality of the photo.
Good luck
