Thank you, folks, for checking it out, and your comments!
I went back into DC today, to the same general area (the famous cherry blossoms are hitting peak this week!) but the sky was not nearly as pretty as yesterday... no water reflection shots, but hopefully one or two others to share! #4116980

Striking abstract,Christopher.
The clarity and colour are amazing. #4119474

Chris Budny level-deluxe April 01, 2007

Thank you, Christine! The colors needed a little push to pop, but I loved the silky feel of the water's surface, at 1/30th second! I got another, aimed directly under the bridge (no sunset color at all, as a result) that is really cool (I think) as a B/W image... #4120211
