Jefferson Memorial in Washington, DC. It was a very clear, calm night - the same night I shot two other entries:
For Sale
and Sky
Post-challenge: Chalk up another success to the architects of Washington. I'm very happy with the score and placement, and this is my 10th score over 6. :)
Now to learn how to shoot something else with equally good results!

This is an amazing shot. I somehow missed it, but couldn't help but notice it in your profile. Definitely a good choice on the centered composition, and the clarity is stunning for a night shot.
Jeffrey! This should have finished in the top 10 or 20 for sure! This shot is flawless! Stunning! You are SO GOOD at these types of photos! But top 30 and a 6.5 in a Free Study: Not bad!!! :)
Love the title - so creative, I mean evitaerc! This would have worked very well in centered subject, too. Great lighting. Exposure length? Hope you'll post. 9.
Neat work. Does it really need the lights at each side of frame? I can see why the answer might be yes, but they seem to lead to a distortion of composition, being not quite equi-distant from the memorial.
