14 Feb 17 Comment The Auditor's Building was originally the Bureau of Printing and Engraving. It became part of the Department of Agriculture and is now the home of the Forest Service.

I try to minimally process "original" parts of images. The sky was doctored to make it less of an attraction - and since it was doctored, I made it a color that really doesn't occur in nature.

I suppose I should have cropped off the wing, but when I did that it didn't have the appeal.

I also tried more breathing space - it actually looks nicer, but not as striking, if I frame the image.

Thanks for the comments - makes me think.

By the way, the USDA used the building for the Bureau of Waste Management - and the lovers of DC beauty felt the Forest Service was a more appropriate use.

Next door to the Holocaust Museum, the building adds some balance to the city.

14 Feb 17 Comment I like the balance, however when I took a little bit of water off with a 3 x 5 card the balance got even better. It looks like the snow is burned out a little bit if there's detail and that I would mask the snow and cut down on the exposure that I would try to detail extract a little more from the clouds I think there's more detail there than you can say that we get the pictures snap.

14 Feb 17 Comment When I look carefully I can just barely see the elf sticking his head out from behind the tree in the middle. The colors an image and texture are beautiful. You might take a minute and take some of the lens or sensor dust in the very bottom out of lighter colored areas it's kind of distracting the second time I look at the image. Feb 8th
14 Feb 17 Comment Poor guy looks really hot. I love the steamy feeling. The blood on his hands from motion I find a little distracting makes me think of the blurry put into a racehorse intentionally. I don't see any way to get it out without going to a higher ISO and multiple exposure noise reduction as possible. Feb 8th
14 Feb 17 Comment I love the texture and the shapes. The texture where the wall curves isn't quite as pronounced as the texture of the flat surfaces. I would try bringing a little more detail out of the shadows to see if that evens out to Texter? Feb 8th
14 Feb 17 Comment Good focus, good lines very sharp focus on the clock. I would like the building to be parallel to the edge since my eye gets distracted by a parent perspective. Feb 8th
14 Feb 17 Comment I love the look of the sunlight reflected in the water, even if the sunlight isn't actually reflect in the water. The colors are beautiful. Feb 8th
