saturated landmark, part deux

Two weeks ago, I went to Screen on the Green on the National Mall. The weather was threatening off in the distance. Strange looking clouds enveloped the Washington Monument. In trying to catch some lightning, I got this shot, played with the saturation, and this came out. Too much digital noise to make a great large print, but on a small scale, what do you think?

"kiss me..."

Made it out to Screen on the Green for the first time this season. When the HBO music comes on, we get up and dance interpretively to it. I tried to capture it. A little abstract, not sure what I think of it though. Opinions?
