Thanks for the comments everyone. Like a tard, I had the year set to 2005... Dooh!

Anyway, to answer the question of where I photographed this from. It was photographed from the Iwa Jima memorial which is located just across the Potomac from the Lincoln memorial.

I'm sorry to hear about the DQ. i had given this one a 10. I had never seen this perspective before, not that I collect postcards of DC however. I loved the POV, the colors, and the spot-on exposure. Well done.

Terrific!! Very unusual angle. I've never seen those three landmarks from that perspective. The lighting and details are great, and the graphics are very effective. Love it!

Excellent composition. Very nice job overall. Should place high.

Very unique take on some oft photographed architecture. I like how you were able to combine all three into one shot. Looks a little strange to have the Washington monument cut-off, but I still think it looks great. Composition nicely leads my eye from left to right.

Totally awesome composition, great job of including multiple landmarks without getting too busy of a photo. Very good postcard finish as well. Nicely done, 9!

This is a rather unique view. Unfortunately, I feel like it would be greatly improved were the Washington Monument not there but I don't suppose there's a whole lot you can do about that, is there? Nicely lit and good graphic design.

not the most beautiful crop, capitol is too close to the border, obelisk is hardly to recognize

I was in Washington last weekend (why couldn't the challenge have been then? LOL).
This is beautiful, you've managed to capture the 3 major elements on The Mall in one stunning photo. I bought some postcards while I was there but none as beautiful as this. If this had been on the rack I would have bought it.
10 from me

The structure in the center is a distraction because we can't see it in its entirety. A different angle would help.
