Great depth of field and a classic postcard image, and while postcards to tend toward the supersaturated, the blue of the sky here is a touch overdone, and more importantly it draws the eye away from the Smithsonian, monument and blossoms. Despite that, top ten.

A tough one to rate because the composition is perfect, the subject matter is perfect, the font selection and placement is perfect, but the image lacks somewhat in execution. If the color on the blossoms on the right had been carried over to the left, it would have worked perfectly and made the slightly washed out background stand out. As it is though, it's a good depiction of the general impression if you will of Washington. Very nice - good job.

I would love to see Washington at cherry blossom time!!! This is a classic shot and I would buy this postcard.

Now to the technicals......seems a bit oversharpened or contrasty on the blossoms on the left, could be just the sunlight. 8 from me.
