Library of Congress, Jefferson Building
As best as I can, I try to make lighting adjustments to my photos that match what my mind's eye saw, not necessarily what the light sensors on the camera detected. So I do make adjustments. And when I make those adjustments, what was already there usually becomes much more evident. In this case, there are several layers of depth that are visible simply by tracking the colors. What is really cool in this image - something I didn't plan, but certainly did notice later - is that the pillars in the foreground seem to be serving as the foundation of the picture, and holding it up at the same time. Framing!
Shot with an iPhone 8s Plus, I love this image for its complexity and beauty. Also, this is the first photo I've posted on this blog where I did some proper photoshop work to get some (several) tourists out of the shot (there's the disclaimer for any real photographers out there who might stumble across this and see evidence of image manipulation...which you can see if you look really closely).
