A great postal card, indeed. Love the tones and the unusual view from theses buildings.

My first glance led me to think this was one of those fiber optic globes or something.

Compositionally, this works very well with a square crop I think. It helps to lead the eye to the middle of the frame. It also works well that it is basically symmetrical and no one part of the "strata" of colors is off-balanced.

Technically, it is very well done. A lot of times this technique is better described as "blurry mess" rather than implying motion.

Overall well done, and obviously worked well for the voters. :)

Looks a bit over exposed. Too much halo around the Dome and the buildings. I think a blue sky would have worked better.

These last few cards have been terrific - this is another example of proper composition which imparts the feeling of power and grandeur that is our Capital complex. The flag is perfectly positioned along with the soft overall golden glow is simple magic. The font is perfectly placed and correct - a good choice.

Im not sure about the way the sky fades in and out here, the halo around the dome is distracting. Other than that, great choice of subject, beautifully framed, nice use of late afternoon light. top ten.
