 This is an outtake for the Postcard III challenge.

I like this better than my entry in several aspects...but I thought it would be less appreciated by dpc quick voters,and probably by postcard shoppers too :-).

This is also a HDR of 2 exposures, but in this case besides the change in shutter speed required to balance the strong light on the dome, 2 diferent focal planes have been used to increase DOF and get on focus both the statue (part of the Grant memorial) on the fg, and the Capitol's dome on the bg.

****************************
To Kolasi:
Both images taken consecutively, camera on tripod on exact same posicion and frame, as allowed by advanced editing rules. The diferences on camera settings between the 2 shots are:
shot 1: focus on statue, shutter speed = 30 sec
shot 2: focus on dome, shutter speed = 4 sec.
Then I put them as layers on PS, and used masks to make a manual HDR.

my post in your challenge entry was meant for here:

This is great!...is it one photo or two different shots stacked on top of each other?

This reminds me of Yanko's postcard entry from Austin.
