Love the impressionistic look of the reflecton in the wet pavement and how it contrasts to the crisp reality.

Dramatic lighting and sky. Very nice image. I like those fiery reflections.

I love all the detail but with a straight horizon it would work better.

Wonderful exposure, the colours and light are nice.

the crop is too tight IMO. Includig the water reflections did not really help here. I would have included mre sky to have better contrast in the overall image,

Nice reflection shot, the lighting is so warm and inviting. The sky/clouds look fantastic behind it.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I really like the violet-tinged sky, and how the color complements the golden and orange hues of the rotunda. The highlights around the top are just a little blown out.

Great shot, I like the reflection.

Beautiful building with a nice reflection in the water.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 09:46:15 AM
though this is a good long exposure, your focus is soft
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 09:42:20 AM
Love the blue against the orange.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 08:37:29 PM
Great lighting. I like how it glows.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 07:51:36 PM
Maybe a lower iso would have helped a bit or less saturation- something to help with the amount of noise (especially in the sky)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 04:41:28 PM
Nice colour, and reflection. Not sure why the blue sky wasnt reflected into the pond as well though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 01:50:28 PM
focus seems a bit off to me
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 12:46:16 PM
The water looks very fiery, but the sky looks kinda funky...

Great colors and I like the effect in the water.

Reflections make this shot special. Well done on those.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I have a very similar picture of this in the daylight. I thought it was a beautiful location during the day, but I wish I could have seen it at night time! While the lights help create a great reflection in the water, I wish the details along the top of the rotunda weren't overexposed.

Nice shot, great color
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 10:58:35 AM
nice colors, interesting composition and reflections.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 07:55:35 AM
I really like the reflection in the water. I think the shot would pop more if taken from another angle, the tree in front of the building spoils the view a bit.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 04:33:16 AM
I can't put my finger on it but this feel "unbalanced" somehow
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 12:03:43 AM
very nice!! gorgeous!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 10:18:00 PM
Love the contrast of the building lights and almost purple sky.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 09:07:19 PM
This is a really good reflection and I like the colors... except for the really bright yellows. I think they could have been toned down a bit to seem more realistic.
