Wavy Washington Monument :)
I changed the title to "Scroll and Wiggle," Thanxxx to Helen :)
Scroll up and down a little bit for a desired wiggle effect :)
The Washington Monument reflection can be seen in the aptly named Reflecting Pool, a rectangular pool extending to the west, towards the Lincoln Memorial.
The Washington Monument is a large, white-colored obelisk at the west end of the National Mall in Washington, D.C. It is a United States Presidential Memorial constructed for George Washington.
The monument is among the world's tallest masonry structures, standing 555 feet, 5⅛ inches (169.29 m) in height and made of marble, granite, and sandstone. It was designed by Robert Mills, a prominent American architect of the 1840s. The actual construction of the monument began in 1848 but was not completed until 1884, almost 30 years after the architect's death. This hiatus in construction was because of a lack of funds and the intervention of the American Civil War. A difference in shading of the marble, visible approximately 150 feet (45 m) up, clearly delineates the initial construction from its resumption in 1876.
Its cornerstone was laid on July 4, 1848; the capstone was set on December 6, 1884, and the completed monument was dedicated on February 21, 1885. It officially opened to the public on October 9, 1888. Upon completion, it became the world's tallest structure, a title it inherited from the Cologne Cathedral and held until 1889, when the Eiffel Tower was finished in Paris, France.

Quote of the Day:
Many pictures turn out to be limp translations of the known world instead of vital objects which create an intrinsic world of their own. There is a vast difference between taking a picture and making a photograph.

Hi there, great shot here, I think it might have been a little better if the angle of teh shot was square on centre... however did you notice that if you scroll the image up and down on your screen the monument wiggles.. gave me a giggle sitting here at work :-)

Merhaba my freind
Stunning view of this monument melted by intense heat in Washington !
Quite inventive...I'll have to practice with layers!
Selamlar.

Funny idea, but why all that work? all you need is to mask the monument and use tweak or ripple. but how do you create the nice inner border? Janos
Hi Freddie,
good idea for this PP. Well done also in reflection.
TFS
