You've got some really nice shots in this bunch! My faves are 3, 10 and 11. I quite like 9 as well, but figure the focus should have been on the flag more than on the flowers (just IMO).

Logan and Atarctican, thank you for the comments.

Antarctican, thanks for calling that out... And, now that you say that, I think I agree. Dang, too bad I didn't see that yesterday.

I love #3. When I lived there, the blooming of the cherry blossoms was my favorite time.

Yes, especially around this time of year.

Thank you. Hopefully around April when the cherry trees are in bloom. All of those trees in bloom around the Tidal Basin is amazing.

Thank you. It is a fav of mine too.

The Washington Monument is looking more than a little lopsided in the first one.

Nice photos, though.

Yeah, it does. LOL. I wonder why that is.

Nice photos, though.

Thank you.

hehe...I saw that too right away...the leaning tower of Washington.

Also, if you notice, the Jefferson Memorial is even tilted towards center. It looks to me like some distortion with your wide angle lens. Was that shot with the 18-200?

Yes, with the 18-200mm. Do you know why? Thanks.

Great set!

Thank you skier.

I was just curious so I looked up a review on the 18-200 lens...looks like there are distortion issues at both extremes:

Thank you Marcus. I didn't not know that but can now handle it.
