Mag,

This *is* an excellent shot. The more I look at it, the more titles I think of that would really work strongly with this as well :) Those clouds in the distance look like a 'storm' rolling in. Since they are also illuminated much more than the capital building, it looks like this 'storm' has much more power than anything else in the photo. It really seems to create a nice theme for certain current political events and news stories. The US, being the powerful nation that it is, is constantly under various pressures and threats. Your 'storm' seems to accent that for me.

In the words of the immortal bluesman, Robert Johnson, "Hell Hounds on My Trail....."

Kudos...

i was very lucky this day - the skies were insane. actually it was terry (clubjuggle) who first noticed this particular vista - the way the skies looked behind the capitol. funny, i still haven't seen his shots from that day (but one, his entry for this challenge).

The perspective does this pic wonders, did you shoot this from another building window? I think the color version wouldn't have had as much impact as this. The reflection in the window adds a whole bunch of charachter here. Originally a 9, but bumping to a 10 as I write.....

Nice apples. The ones on the bottom have weird shapes though. Where can I buy some?

I like the composition and the tones are good. I think it's lacking a little contrast, however.

Looks Great. Nice choice in B & W. I love the contrast between the window and the stone. 9

I had a look after I saw your comment on my subway (round challenge) picture. Yours is very different but very cool, no wonder it was a winner as well. I like the atmosphere created by the hue shift, as well as the flow through the picture. Good one.
