I did go to the Alamo for this challenge and did get some nice shots but I became bored with them. I guess I have just seen the building too many times.
While visiting colleges this week I made the trip to Austin and took a bunch of shots. I also took some pictures inside, but I don't think they fit the postcard challenge.

I like the general composition of this photo... It looks like a fine composition for a postcard... The symmetry works very well.
The puffy white clouds in the blue sky are always nice. The can really enhance a photo. The only area I see that could be improved in this particular photo is possibly the time of day you shot it... The front of the building seems to be a little on the dark side... I don't know if a differnt time of day would have lit it up more or not...
A good postcard shot. One typo: since it's the building itself, it's spelled Capitol, even though Austin is the Capital of Texas. Ain't English wunnerful?
When I looked at the thumbnail I thought those flowers in the foreground were crowds of people :-). This is a typical postcard shot, I like it. It would have looked amazing had you used a polarizer filter to bring out the sky and clouds more.
Weondeful use of symetry. This picture looks great! Flag waving and all. The only thing I might change is the choice in text. something simpler might have looked better. none the less, overall this is a wonderful image.
