This is the view of the main part of Pennsylvania Avenue. The White House is about 3 blocks behind me, and the U.S. Capitol is in the distance. The late afternoon light was really nice, highlighting the white Capitol against the cloudy sky.
This is my first try using the shadow/highlight adjustment, and I like what it does!

Greetings from the critique club. Let me first start off with saying that I'm not sure how well you met the photo-challenge connection. The Vanishing point actually goes to the capitol building. I do like the fact that you used shadows/highlights to accenuate the photo the processing is pretty good. I do think that at night tripod mounted this would have been a stronger image, however its still going to end at the capitol building. Overall I'd say you scored about where I would have put it in a tough challenge.
The P.O. bldg looks fantastic. Don't forget about that one when the next Turrets & Clocktowers challenge comes along. Is that selective color on the sky? Interesting. And you employed the shadow/highlights tool to good effect - it's an easy one to screw up!
A nice cityscape, but there is so much going on here that I had to deliberately look for the vanishing point. So as a cityscape, it's a nice photo. However in the interest of the challenge theme, it doesn't work well for me.
