Hi Cassius, welcome to DPC.

Of the four that you've posted, I like the Washington Monument one the best - the reflection is the clearest. Second fave of the series is the Memorial Bridge - great light trails. All are very good, can't wait to see you in a challenge! :)

DC shots are a dime a dozen, but you've done well. I like the Memorial Birdge shot the best as it's the least common amoungst the throng of DC images.

DC shots may indeed be a dime a dozen but that's cause it's so darned fun to shoot in DC. ;)

I love the Capitol on. Excellent! Would you be willing to include more exposure/post processing details so we can learn what you did? Nice work.

It is, especially the people. I went down this morning to the Union Station area for some wet photographic fun, but it was just too wet and windy... ;-)

Thanks "L2", "tooohip", and "blemt" for your comments!

"blemt": I added my exposure details under each photo. I am now learning to use Photoshop. So my post processing abilities are mainly cropping, color balance, brightness, and contrast. I don't do it much because I end up making the photo look worse than what it was when I started. :-)
