| The FDR memorial is one of the most beautiful memorials I have ever seen. I was fortunate to visit it at night, the atmosphere was amazing. Washington at its best. |

Composition -- I think the contrast between the vertical lines and horizontal lines really sets up the shot to be full of strength. The only nit-pick I have about the composition is that I find myself wanting to see more of the sky above and water below, or absolutely none of it. Did you experiment with any vertical crops to see what effect that would have? I almost think a vertical crop of the center third would allow the viewer (at least this viewer) to feel like there was "something" that the eyes could rest on.
Technique -- Personally, I think the exposure is right on here. Only one spot on the right is blown out a little, and I suspect there was a light there. ??? You have captured some marvelous details in the water and snow, as well as the actual stones that it is built of. The coloring is very unique, I think, as it looks so warm, yet the subject is so cold. Your focus is great--very crisp and clear.
Overall effect -- This was one of my favorites of the challenge. I felt that it was a well taken photograph, that attracted the audience and made them want to look at it more. That said, it did seem that it didn't have any one place for the eyes/viewer to focus on, but that may have been your intent. As far as widespread appeal, many may not have know what this was, and as a result couldn't relate to it in any other way than, "a fountain," so it may not have carried the emotional appeal that some pictures may carry.
Again, I really like the shot, and I hope this has been a little helpful.

| Absolutely beautiful! Looks like liquid gold cascading down. Still pretty new here so I'm not a technical expert - but I love the lighting, focus, and contrast of the dark sky at the top which enhances the subject without detracting from it. Great job - could definately see this nicely framed on a wall!!!!! |

| The lighting is simply beautiful! Was this light painted? Composition's neat also but I think it would look pretty nice without the black top - makes a good abstract. |

| I like the softness of the water. Great detail on the rest. I also like the composition. The lit tree in the back ground really adds to the pic. 8 |

| Pretty photo although I feel there is too much blur... to the point I lose the water. All the elements tell me it's cold outside except the hazy water. Doesn't seem to work wrll with the snow ot chilly lighting. |
