Washington Monument #Gazillion and 4

[MB1]

This morning.

Cherry Blossoms a day or two away from popping.

This one made me say: "Ooh! that's nice". Sure the monument's practically centered, but who cares, it's hard not to do with reflections. Love the deep blue contrasted with the orange. Thanks for getting up early to get this.

I like the framing with the branches.
Are the colors true or oversaturated?

......Are the colors true or oversaturated?

That is always a tough one for me to say. I actually think that a camera just can't capture the true beauty of a sunrise and anything we do is just a poor substitute for the real thing.

My post processing for this one was to increase the exposure by 1 stop and add just a touch of saturation and brightness. I probably should have opened the shadows a touch too but I wanted to keep the contrast as is.

Great framing and colors.

Just when I thought #Gazillion and 5 was great, wow this is brilliant, I can see why you like shooting it. I have no critique that could make a difference to the super shot. You can see now I work top to bottom on the critique forum. Cheers, S
