You certainly got 6+! :) Congrats on a beautiful shot. As someone who shoots around DC all the time, I greatly appreciate different angles. Congrats on your first top 10!
Beautiful lines and superb reflection! The only thing I could recommend would be to adjust the photo so that the horizon lines up more vertically (which I know you can't do in this competition, I don't think). Great job.
Nice image. Good strong lines and color. One suggestion, crop the image in on the left side starting where the greenish yellow light is on the wall.
cheers,
this is pretty cool, i really like the idea although the frame doesn't look quite level (tilted to the left?) and there seems to be a halo around the washington monument.
