Greetings from another DC-area photographer. :) Just love that perspective!

Powerful perspective and excellent use of available light. Also tells me what monument is made of.

Even with the noise, it is a nice photo. The noise adds a sort of screen print effect it it.

Frankly, I couldn't see the 'noise' for the beauty of the coloring and composition. Thank you for seeing this Monument in a different way and showing it to us. While I was one of your "7"s, I wish I had bumped it up some more.

Keep 'em coming.

You should invest in a good scanner.

If you could remove the noise this is an outstanding capture.

I like the perspective a lot. The sky looks very grainy. Wonder if a slight blur over the whole image would help - I know this is basic and you can't Gaussin the sky.

I like this shot but it quite grainy.

Too much grain, or did you intend it to be that way? If so, it looks good on the monument but not the sky. Otherwise, it's a great picture. I like the way the lights shine up the side of the stone - gives it a surreal feel.

Like it. Really a cool shot. Little grain or noise but that's fine with me.

Nice angle, composition. I like the gold feeling it gives off. Just need some noise reduction.

Not sure if you used HDR or not, but that's a LOT of red noise which could have been avoided, would have given a 6, but the noise brings it down to a 4 for me.

Nicely noisy.

Looks great, I am not a fan of noise if it was intended. IMHO in this case the sharper the better.
