Jimi Hendrix Memorial in Renton, Wa. Taken with a wide-angle converter on my Sony F707, converted to B & W, and then cleaned up extra noise in NeatImage. I expected to finally see a statue of Jimi inside the monument but they obviously have not added that yet.

This is the most UN-Jimi Hendrix thing I have seen. Not your fault (unless you designed the memorial!), for I DO VERY MUCH ENJOY your photo. The sparkle of light, the point of view and the clouds really wake this up. Nice! 9
Nicely picked up on the detail, nice and sharp image. The flare from the corner looks great here and only adds to the impact IMO. The B+W is great and you've picked out some nice detail in the sky too. Good luck.
My favourite shot this challenge, and only 10. I've not come across this memorial, I wonder where it is? Beautiful sky and sun glare, this picture really seems to capture something that I think Hendrix would have 'dug'. Great composition and choice of wide angle. Great lighting. Thanks!
I like nearly everything about this shot. I love the flare on the top of the monument. The clouds in the background add interest, and the angle this was shot at really works for me.
looking forward to the end of the challenge so I can read more about where this is. I had no idea he had such a monumental monumnet. The wispy clouds and the star glare are both nice touches adding to the spiritual and musical feel of the subject.
So many things to like in this image. The black and white is great, adds a nice moody feel. The light wisps of clouds gives it an ethereal feel. The composition is good, even centered. And you gotta love the light glare on the edge of the structure. A great homage to a great musician, and a great photograph!
The image apepars to tilt ever so slightly to the right due to the chosen perspective, I like the sun flare, it adds something to the photo, I hope you don't get roasted for it. Good Luck.
