Looks interesting and looked up on wikipedia what's up with that place and those columns.
Well, I see, a pretty modern monument with clearly older columns in its focuss.
And you truly are able to perceive why the water is there. Nice angle a took there.

Yeah, something like that, as I said, I looked up on wikipedia.
They were originally built as part of the east portico of the Capitol in 1828, long before the familiar Capitol dome was completed. However, when the dome was completed in 1866, it appeared inadequately supported by the columns, because the iron dome was significantly larger than the dome that the designer envisioned. To correct this visual illusion, an addition to the east side of the Capitol was constructed in 1958 and the columns were removed.(Wikipedia: National Capitol Columns)

Hi somadjinn, This reflection pool portrait is fantastic. You've managed to not let the golds overwhelm to image, which I see in a lot of outdoor HDR. It is beautiful!

Thanks Heidi! Sunlight was pretty harsh at that time, but I think HDR when used in moderation helps to balance out the tones.
