 I captured this photograph on a sunny but bitter cold day while exploring Washington D.C. I might have been freezing cold but I was happy that it was sunny out and I was doing the thing I love to do. I came across this shot as I approached the monument stairs. I decided to go with this angle to capture the beauty in how the monument is shaped. This being my first Photo ever submitted I would gladly appreciate any tips or comments anyone has to offer. Thank you ; )

yeah man, have to agree with the commenters below, def way over-saturated, as shown in the bright blues in the steps where there should not be any bright blues. with less color, or even black and white, i think this picture would have been a 6+, but did not deserve a 4.32. composition and framing is great, so is the light, processing just threw people off. And its a bit grainy, could use some neat image too!

Your "blues & cyans" color cast is plenty bright on the building and steps. The sky is a little grainy in the upper righthand corner too. I like the Architecture idea with the columns. -BB

I'm not crazy about the processing, but the angle is nice. I trust YOU like the processing?

A bit overprocessed.

I think something went wrong with your processing. The blue cast is unnatural and there is a lot of noise in the photo.

The post processing detracts from the over all image.

Easy on that sat button...bleed-through is very distracting.

You found the saturation slider! just too much.

I like the subject and the composition. I like the repeated lines of the columns, and it seem to fit the challenge well. Perhaps it was your intention, but the saturation is very intense. Too intense for my taste.
