I spent a couple of days in Washington, DC and took this about a week and a half ago.

good quality - the color could use some work - the top is nice and warm but then the bottom is cool with all that blue from the outside light....it is a photo that everyone takes - but you stand out with your quality - maybe crop it in and make it more about his face...?

Overall I think it's decent. It's perfectly centered. As a couple others have said, it's a bit dull, something we've seen a hundred times. I might run a noise reduction program on it to clean up the noise in he background. It may look better, it may not.
Personally I would like to see a different view, perhaps a close up of his face, maybe at an unusual angle. Lincoln's face has a story to tell and I think that's where the magic will happen. But again, overall, it's a nice photo. Maybe try it again if you get the chance to go back to D.C.

I don't what kind of camera you own, but if you could zoom in a bit more - taking portions of the statue, rather than the whole thing - that would be cool. Overall the picture is really nice, great lighting, and it's almost like a gradient, warm colour to cool. Nice =)

Nothing special. A very common POV and, to be different, you need to think outside the box. I am not rating quality here, which appears to be OK, but your conceptualisation of the subject, which is head-on and centred in the frame (symmetrical is OK but for this subject?) and there are better ways to present it, aside from the cropping suggestion made above ... which could be interesting though.
Dramatic visual power is what I would be looking for and this is ... ordinary.

Very nice-classic comp slightly off center,but thats not necessarily bad...it'll probably sell eventually....really, one of the better ones of
a common subject that I've seen....kind of like watching paint dry though....lots of lincoln memorial pics out there...post a picture of
that pedophile legislator playing santa at macy's ....now that would buy you a new car.....a picture of jennifer anniston doing almost anything ... a new house...sad state of the industry

Your photo is your original photo. It is a beautiful rendering of a commonly photographed subject. I don't recall seeing one with that wonderful sepia shading to it. I like it very much.
I am also a photographer and I really enjoyed your other photos on the site you posted here.

Well. first of all you are cute. I am my dad's baby too. So don't feel bad. I like being the oldest. You are about 15-16 years old.

It's a good picture, it has nice balance but it's a little boring.
