Description
Jefferson Memorial
Washington DC
Here's you go ... this is the sort of thing you expect from me! The Jefferson Memorial is such an elegant design I just had to show you the whole thing, but this sort of shot is what I look for and love to do.
Do look at this full size. It's totally worth the click.

Very very beautiful capture and image's composition !!
wonderful done, great lighting in this!
lovey work
Wow! At first I thought you had done some manipulation, but obviously not! Great capture of the veins in the marble! And with the strong sun which somehow bleaches the whole. This adds to the contrast. A kind of etherial atmosphere here. Keep up the good work! This is really nice.
Very iconic image
Iconic, ironic, ionic...such great words and at least two of them apply here:-) I do see your recently acquired filters at work here. Love the way you are able to combine high key in the background and still show details in the foreground...much as the eye really sees under these conditions. Mighty nice.
Very nice capture Tara. I like the lighting very much.
Lovely shot T!!!
Well, those are indeed some capitol capitals in the Capitol city, Tara! Yes, indeed - this wonderful photo has 'Tara' written all over it. Or maybe engraved into it... Whatever the case, it's sooooo you - which means it's great.
I love the receding tones!
Superb capture Tara. God bless.
Leaving aside the subject matter this is a really fine photograph. The lighting is subtle and superb. The composition is exceptional. Excellent work.
I am not surprised. The eye for detail. great shot Tara!
As I finish up comments this time around, I want to do another couple of yours and bills. This looks unmanipulated, and yet gently worked with. The high key light in the background is wonderful, in contrast to the deep shadows in the foreground, and of course the detail. (Bill's point, rephrased.) The gentle curve gives a clue of how large this is. And your light makes the columns appear to glow. Ionic rarely has it this good...it has an etch-like feeling. And you caught the many lines and swirls of the marble too. Beautiful piece, I felt it when it went up and feel it as much now.
