The Oklahoma City National Memorial is a must see by day or night. The memorial is framed by the 9:01 gate on the east and 9:03 gate to the west, framing the exact time the bomb went off and killed 168 innocent men, women, and children inside the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in downtown Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995. The reflecting pool use to be 5th street that ran in front of the building.

I'm obviously a little late commenting on this photo, but I love it. I can't believe it didn't fare better in this challenge. This is a great shot. It makes me want to go down there some night and shoot around.
Very nice capture of this emotional symbol. I have never really seen a nice shot of the memorial, now that I see your, I think I would like to see in person.
I am glad you entered this. I believe this photo serves a double benefit. The quality of this is great! Not overexposed for most of the lights. I would have liked the reflection to include the top of the church.
Nice composition, like the reflection. A bit more contrast via a black point adjustment would make this even better. Optical illusion makes it appera tilted to left slightly, though I know it is not.
Wow!!! This is STUNNING! It looks like the memorial is sitting on a mirror. I love the church in the background too. This is just a perfect, beautiful print-type photo!! 10
good pic. looks like the steeple is cropped a bit tight. And I wonder about getting rid of the church all together. competes a bit with the central statue in my opinion, but wonderful shot, great reflection and nice exposure. great work.
