You have the same theme but a different interpretation than I do.

Either good planning or a lucky break for the palm to form a nimbus for the statue.

I have a feeling these postcards will not be in all the usual touristy places ... perhaps would have been even better suited to the Negative Space challenge.

Lincoln Memorial

I didn't think of building my own monument! I'd have used a newer one on the top though, to make sure the image of Lincoln was a little clearer.

I know the reference, but have never seen this. Maybe you can post a long-shot for context after the challenge.

The Chattri

I happen to like it when photos look like paintings, especially when it suits the subject. Love the color; I'd play with the tone curves but just to see what it would look like rather than to recommend any specific change (I bet you've done that already!). If I was going to print this, I'd probably play with sharpening it a bit first, and then running it through a "Canvas" or "Oil Pastel" filter.

And now you've reminded me of a great place to have photographed near where I grew up ....
