I don't know how I missed this one! What a grand view with so much intricate architecture and artwork. The colors look really nice too. This view is just gorgeous!

Beautiful fine detail of the dome, with great lighting. I love the interesting framing and how you chose to go off-center and not reveal the entire dome. Beautiful perspective and photo!

I love the angle of this photo. You can see all of the details looking up into the dome. The angle is so perfect. You really did a fantastic job and I thank you for sharing this. :)

A beautiful architectural shot of this dome from Lincoln Memorial. A good perspective and nice light handling. Very well photographed with gorgeous details in your image. Good storytelling with your image. Perfectly framed and well composed shot. This is very nice work and thanks for sharing!

This is a very interesting photo. I like the off center image. I love the colors and design within the dome. The brighter yellow center draws your eye right into the photo. It feels like a kaleidoscope.
A pleasure to view. An eye catcher for sure.

A glorious photo and congratulations on the blue ribbon award. Domes are not easy to photograph. Yours is in perfect focus and shows the dome's wonderful depth. Everything associated with Lincoln in Springfield is worth a visit!

    Yes, I did enjoy Springfield! Your kind review is much appreciated!! I puzzled though by your mentions of a "blue ribbon" award? Please explain!
reply by Browncat on 22-Apr-2018
    The blue ribbon is the symbol for the "Recognized" award that is shown beside your photo in the contest entry.

Did not want to knock of half as this looks such an interesting thing to take,would like to know why the rest of the dome was not in this,and bet there was a reason because this is crying out to see the whole thing,do like all those figures,and must have taken ages to do,but thanks for sharing this,just wanted to see more...Brian

    I can well understand your frustration! It was unfortunately unavoidable as I was on an escorted tour of the building and did have much time over deciding on compositions!! Thanks for your nice review!

Comment from No Eye Has Seen


The lighting and focus is spot on, the details are very interesting, has a good story . To stay true to my preference I would have prefered the full done that is why the half star drop. Thanks for sharing
