I really enjoy seeing DC through your lens... beautiful place.

I'm actually a scholar of iconic art and this would be something I'd want to see next time I come to DC; this suggests Christ Pantocrator, though not exactly like that. There's no right hand raised in the blessing gesture and no gospel in the left hand, and the robe is off the shoulder, but the wounds call attention to the love and salvation of/through Christ. Wonderful photo... and thanks for the look.

Well done.

This is very well done Mark and that lens really worked great for this setting. Colors are also quite rich.

LOL! Is that why this photo's getting so many hits? ;)

Nice! When I first looked at the thumbnail I thought this pic was of a belly dancer..:-)

Nice use of that wide angle lens. Nice composition!
