Jefferson Memorial
Architecture is an art form like sculpture. To photograph it in an artistic way the photo-artist must find a way to interpret it and make it unique and their own vision. This takes it out of the realm of merely recording an object and into graphic art.
This photograph of the Jefferson Monument could have been taken from across the street showing this magnificent structure just like a thousand other tourist photos we have seen. But the creator of this image selected to accentuate the detail and combine that with a strong graphic style.
The photo-artist elected to take this picture when the light was low on the horizon so that the shadows would be filled with reflective illumination to balance the contrast between shadow and highlight. The strong blue sky creates a nice color contrast to the golden tans of the stone.
