Interesting perspective on this image. I'm not really seeing a longer than normal expsoure for the moment. No doubt a long exposure was used, but not longer than normal for the circumstances, IMHO.
Interesting take on the challenge but I'm not fond of the gold color in the border or the photo itself because of the color range. Perhaps a B&W conversion would have made this photo more appealing to me. The photo is a very crisp image throughout and well composed. Good luck in this challenge. <6>
I love this memorial. It's a shame you couldn't get the entire quote into the picture, but that shouldn't hinder your score. I would give this a 10 if I could vote. Great job.
I'm giving this a 10, even though I think one improvement would be good (although it may be a result of an impossibility or image size). If the words were just a little more face on to the viewer so as not to strain to try to read the "We will never foget" would just make this image pop. As it is, I do think it is a fantastic shot of the WW2 memorial. Best I've seen of the DC pics.
