An excellent capture Bill.
An outstanding image. It really does look more impressive at night. This is my take on it:

nice shot
WOA! It is HUGE !!! Lovely shot and reflections :)
stunning capture
Excellent scene!!
Imposing !
your night time capture instills the essence of the monument
Impressive view, almost abstract ! Very nice capture!
This is a brilliant shot! I was gobsmacked when I saw this over your shoulder last night. An outstanding image! I love the way the bright spotlights give the WWII Memorial a sort of Stonehenge vibe.
What an epic shot, Bill! So beautiful!
superb night picture! the light in the reflection is just stunning!
gorgeous capture of the monument with wonderful spot light 😃 fav
It is a very beautiful and very nice!
Nice capture Bill.
Very well done Bill!
ditto the high praises above. This is epic, yes, monumental. In full view, the two huge lights on either side of the ground (of the monument) do give this an eerie air; almost like a launching pad on a distant planet. Or that "stonehenge" vibe that tara speaks of. Your work on this brings out the lights at the bottom like they're hints of a whole other world down there, entries to a deep cavern city. And the monument soars above in monolithic power, with gradations of light and shadow across it; with water-reflections "painted over" by fluid patterns, almost like linoleum floating over the reflections. And all the rest? Black. A terrific use of black, and terrific approach to the lights in the midst of that black. Wonderful work Bill. First rate nighttime photography.
Bill, I'm at 45 minutes now; and to show you how slow I am, I only did 7 images; but at least you know that I gave them my all. I'll be back for more before I leave rr again; it's always a pleasure. Hope you're enjoying your visits and your late summer...
