Jefferson Memorial. My favorite place. Sunset had cooled somewhat by the time I got there, so I used my white balance to 'give it some help' :) .. used my tripod

Nice shot! I love the shading of the columns, it's very soft and makes the columns look very round. I like how the picture makes you want to walk to the left.
This reminds me of a photo in the archives at DPC... it may even be the same place.
Aha, it's 'Round' by albright1, and is of the Jefferson Memorial. That one got a red ribbon because of the great use of light and shade. The crop was very effective. Although yours is an attractive shot, there is nothing here in the way of light or composition to lift this above a 6 for me. Score: 6
You were able to capture some really nice curves. Your composition with the ground and the roof makes the piece very interesting. It leads your eyes around the columns. Great job.
Really nice perspective. The only thing that bothers me is the very bottom left corner - the way the step breaks up the otherwise smooth presentation. Still a top pick for me.
