Agreeable wide angle image in which the height of the obelisk (?) is echoed by the upward mounting steps to the government building in the foreground (US SEnate?) and your light and dark masses in the frame balance very well. If I have only one wish it would be to see just a little more space on the right side. I would also have liked to click on the image to see a larger one. However, a very nice perception and capture.

Thank you Arthur! I agree about needing more space on the right side; this shot actually included a lot more that I cropped out, a lot in the foreground as I had the camera placed directly on the steps with no tripod (I would have needed a permit for a tripod believe it or not). To the right of the monument were some barricades that would have been a major detriment, so I had little choice but to crop that also and make the best attempt at making everything proportional.

 

Thanks again! Allan
