The sky is amazing. I noticed a couple of spots in the water that look strange but other than that this is an excellent photo.

This is a very good comp. i like it. However, when you begin to see pure yellows back off...the adjustment has gone to far. To make the foreground more interesting, you could have selected the water reflection and treated it with levels to boost up the luminescense. I would use a feather value of 10 pixel or so. Bumping up to nect level for great comp.

Quite a dramatic sky! Nicely done, considering you still managed to get the monument well-exposed. I was hoping to get a similar shot when I was there last winter, but the pool was empty at the time.

Really nice image; spectacular sunset. Hmmm... is DC really about the scenery and weather? Most images would have shown the sitting Lincoln figure all lit up ... Maybe the DC C of C should think about YOUR viewpoint once in awhile. Might take the dirty politics out of everyone's mental thought processes when thinking about traveling to Washinton - there ARE lots of historical and artistic attractions. Congratulations on a really nice image.

Great timing, you've got an awesome sunset there. I wish the memorial was just a tad sharper. And I bet you'll get a few negative comments on the border (me, I think it's fine ... if anything maybe just a tad too thick, but others I'm sure will complain). Good luck on the challenge!

Technically, this shot is awesome. The composition is perfect. It carry strong emotion. The only improvement I can see is too shoot it sooner in order to get some more light on the front of the stone. I can believe you didn't make a print out of this.

that's a nice picture - I like the color transition in the sky - would have been cool to get it in the reflection too!
