I don't know if the white spots on the river are too exaggerated or not, because I've never see that much snow, but I do love the far shore and the brooding sky. The Jefferson Memorial is perfect.

This is a lovely moody shot, quite under rated IMHO. The snow in the foreground is a bit too bright, but I like the feel and the way the Jefferson Memorial pops.Message edited by author 2009-04-12 22:50:58.

I voted this unjustly low when voting - I gave all photos at least two viewings, but for some reason although I looked at this, I didn't really SEE it. I really like the patterns of the snow on the frozen river. The perfectly lit domed building peeking out provides the perfect foil to the wide vista.

great winter shot makes me want to live there and not just visit.

Very moody shot, I really want the focus on the far shore

Oh wow it looks so cold. Nice capture of the water and DC in the background.

Lovely shot. Love that dark brooding sky.

Good shot of these landmarks. I would prefer it with the bottom cropped out.

very dark and brooding (skyline/background)...just looks plain cold

well this is a first for me. nice unique image

Well captured and presented. I really like this unusual point of view. Bumping.

Now this is different. I would crop the bottom. I like that spot of light effect on the dome.

Lovely painting like quality to this unusual view of the Washington Monument and the Jefferson Memorial across the frozen Potomac river.
Post actions
for me, a closer crop on the bottom would have added more drama to the image, right now that is where my eye goes first.

The darkness of the sky really adds to this wintry scene.

Very nice image. It's good to see a few "great" images. This is a perfect reflection of your abilities as a photographer.

I like that I can see falling snow and that the Jefferson Memorial is lit by the sun while the rest of that area is darker.
Post actions
oh I dont know... bit shady and the quality is not so good...
Post actions
lacks a wow factor to really attract the viewer

Looks cold. Nice with the white snow and dark sky.

cool seeing the monuments in the distance, a different perspective

ok image but poor quality

Love the stark white of the Jefferson Memorial. Nice winter scene.
Post actions
Wow. Looks like a painting almost...

Love the contrast of the white against the deep blue.

Nice how the building on the right stands out

I haven't seen this perspective before.

Nice contrast of the bright snow vs the stormy sky

I'm a little lost as to what I'm supposed to be looking at: the plants, the river, the buildings, the sky?
Post actions
Too bad the Washington Monument is not as well lit as the dome (is that Montecello?) Certainly a view you don't see very often.
Post actions
Incredible storm view; unique perspective of such famous landmarks. They are not immediately apparent as the eye is drawn to the rust shrubbery in the foreground first.

Are the dots snow? we don't get any here ...

Beautiful capture, great DOF and detail. 7

The scene has competing subjects, I fear. Not sure if both of them are good. I think I would have chosen one or the other.
Post actions
Nice image but I find the foreground distracting.

Makes me shiver to look at this, nice shot

A little out of focus and the lighting wasnt that good but I do like the subject.
Post actions
Nicely captured winter scene.
Post actions
Good thought but needs something. Perhaps take out the snow and use the ice and sky only. To much going on.
Post actions
Oh, how sick of winter am I? I think this would really shine on a rare sunny day.
Post actions
nice shot, i would crop a little more from the bottom, and leave more sky
Post actions
I think this would make for a wonderful Xmass card..

Interesting picture, it reminds me of loneliness.

Nice composition; I can see something like this as a postcard. The Jefferson Memorial is really gleaming! Maybe a bit too much in comparison to the rest of the distant buildings/monuments.
Post actions
and to think I stood on that shore in shorts!!! I like how the Washington and Jefferson Memorials are dwarfed - it makes the sense of the wintry scene more powerful and imposing.
Post actions
Very nice! A perspective shot of DC not often seen.
Post actions
Post actions
Loving this one! Excellent composition! ....a very moody photo.
Post actions
the WA mon is too out of focus I wonder if captureing just the Jefferson (that is that right?) would be better
