Done with a point and shoot, but fortunate to be there early with no

crowds. An unconventional view. Please comment. Thanks.

Nicely done.

Nicely done. A rather familiar scene to us Washingtonians, with your spin on the contrast with the dome and the upper-left cloud makes for an interesting image.

I'm guessing this is an HDR image. I can imagine that the single exposure was drab, but perhaps a compromise would improve it. A bit less tone-mapping might improve the mood while still revealing some detail the single exposure would have missed. I like the composition and can understand why you took the shot.

An offensive pole was cloned out, and the obvious single color scheme

is sometimes overdone. But this scene is nearly as it was experienced

on a gray day on Isle of Skye. Thanks for looking.

I like the natural, candid-like images instead of the perfect Audubon profiles. Well done.

To be enjoyed and imitated (you know, the sincerest form of flattery.)

Great eye to see the artistic image in this scene. What a tease it is to figure it out based on a thumbnail!

 

Congrats!

This is art and more. It moves, haunts, stirs emotion.

 

Criticism of the art "form" comes I think from the same school that believes a jagged pencil line on a piece of paper is a masterpiece because it was done by Matisse.

 

Is oil more artistic than watercolor? Cubism more artistic than impressionism? The "who" and "how" carry too much weight in the minds of many. Some probably think less of this because it was captured on silicon instead of celluloid. The cavemen must have rolled over in their graves upon the advent of canvas!

 

Congrats, Lars. Wish I could do that. Keep them coming!
