From my extremely short, but wonderful, DC trip:

These are great! The last is my favourite, stunning! The moon adds value to the photo!

Wow - really impressive . . . particularly the last. The first one seems a bit out of focus - maybe my old eyeballs are what's really out of focus.

Anyway - I really enjoyed these photos.

Good job!
The moon looks like UFO to me

Looks a little spooky. The atmosphere is rather strikingly moody

Excellent images

I agree....that last image is just striking.

That last one is really cool. Lighting and composition are great.

The third one is a stunner. Well done.

Quite a gothic mood. I must try the National Cathedral myself one day. I doubt, however, that I can capture it as well as you.

They light it well don't they? Great exposures! Last one for me three

Late to reply - but great work. The only time I have been there was high-noon on an overcast day. I didn't have a tripod, but I TRIED to do these. The exterior looks much better in PSE and a 100% detail crop of the stone work is actually pretty sharp. ->

The last shot in the orginal series is a keeper for sure. Excellent work.

#3 in color...apologies for the compression, just giving an idea of post b/w conversion..i feel the b/w gave it a better spooky look...
