By popular request, ok one request, here's a link to some of the shots I took of National Mall in Nov. I got about half of them processed and most likely won't get to the rest for a week or two. So here you go.
Forgive the simple webpage as I'm still working to create my webpage and hopefully will have it done by end of year.
#1 National Mall Overlook
#2 Baltimore Inner Harbor
#3 Jefferson Memorial
#4 Lincoln Memorial
#5 Lincoln Memorial
#6 Marine Memorial
#7 National Mall Overlook
#8 National Mall Overlook
#9 National Mall Overlook
#10 Washington Memorial
#11 Washington Memorial
#9 is not possible. The moon would really be over the Kennedy Center about one frame to the left. It's in the correct position vert just not horz. Two frame shot and moved in photoshop.

These are fantastic!
Truly inspiring photography of D.C.
My only nit is that the tall building in the center of #2 appears to have a lean.
Pretty minor in the scheme of things.
Extremely well done and a great pleasure to view, Brian!

All are excellent shots! Really well done in all aspects. The shot posted here and the vertical version could use a tiny bit more room at the top and bottom, if it was even possible.

Cool shot and series, Brian! I totally love #2. This shot is great too but i wish there was a bit more space at top/bottom.
Wow, quite an impressive collection of images from Washington. Nice work!

Very nice work, Brian! This one is my favorite of the bunch. I'm a sucker for reflections.

Great work Brian. Used to spend a lot of time in D.C. brought back some great memories.

I lived in the DC area for several years growing up and still go back to visit occasionally (my wife and I went for the cherry blossoms this year). I have to say you captured a very nice set of images on par with any I've seen out there.

Thanks for all the comments everyone. It helps that I have a corp apartment about 5 mins from the Mall area and I've been scouting for about 3 years now trying to figure out all the good spots. There are just so many possibilities out there.
Mel: Ya, the cherry blossoms are really cool. I was out there for the last two years during the event.

Stunning photo, love how you kept most of the shadows dark.
