oooohh...great use of purple, too bad the sky is coming off a bit strange and grainy.

Very engaging shot! At first glance, it appears perfect; upon closer inspection, it appears the saturation on your red/magenta channel has been increased too much, causing some odd pixelated effects, particularly in the sky.

Striking - caught my attention right away - enough to write you a short "wow, good job" but that doesn't help much. What if the subject were like |--| lower, so that the right edge of the monument were in that blank area and it were JUST barely more centered?

Very nice. I'd like to see a bigger version (you are allowed 640 pixels on the longer axis, you know).

This is a very cool idea and I like the color and composition very much. The way you framed the memorial is very well done. I am wondering if the color was really like that or if it was done in post-processing? Either way the color is very appealing. I am not sure if it is just my monitor but the focus appears to be a little soft out at infinity. Perhaps a narrower aperture might have produced a better result, then again if the aperture is too small you will get a soft image due to diffraction effects which also could have been the case here. To me this is a powerful photograph and I would be proud of it if it were mine. I gave it a 7.

This is a great picture. I like the way the Jefferson Memorial is framed by the cherry tree branches. I think it is a cherry tree?

The saturation kinda of made the water and sky pixelated. Still a good shot however.
