 Scottish National Monument (Edinburgh) dedicated to those who died in the Napoleonic Wars
The National Monument was to become a Scottish equivalent of the Parthenon of Athens, but they ran out of money so the Monument was never finished. Some say that it's more charming than it would have been if it had been ever finished.

Interesting angle. The image looks a bit dark/underexposed but not by much.

I think this is a beautiful composition but it may be just a tad underexposed for my taste. I'm not sure if it's underexposure or maybe just an overall lack of contrast, but the monument choice here is beautiful :) = 9

Good perspective and composition lighting is good. Looks like could be a tourist postcard.

nice tight composition, very stark against the sky. I might have liked a person in this shot, up by the columns, to give it more of an idea of scale. I can't tell from the shot how big this thing is.

Light on the front wall could have been brighter. Nice perspective.
