It is certainly centered and was taken at the PERFECT time of day. This duk colors make the monument really pop. Well done.

Nice, I like. Maybe a little bit over exposed, but that's my taste. This works too. 8

When I saw the theme for this challenge I thought I would see more of this straight lines. Congrats on the compo.

I guess this means the reflecting pool has been filled with water again - my last 3 visits it has been empty. This is an excellent capture and despite it being so well known, it is very appealingly composed.

One of the few submissions where the subject is not centered for the sake of being centered, but actually strenghtened by being centered. Very nice use of symetry and the colors of the sky are amazing. If only the reflecting pool was mirror flat, a chrisp monument below would have made a spectacular photo. Ahhh, the good old "if only..." Well done and good luck.

beautiful reflection. Sometimes overdone, but couldn't be more appropriate for "centered composition"

I love reflections, this is just perfect. Very symmetrical.

Good luck...
