Sunrise over the Washington Monument

This is my first upload and post to the community. Would love any critiques!

This was taken in 2016 around 6:30am. I was at this spot the day before around 2pm and the sea of people around was insane. I took a few shots, not knowing if I'd be able to return. The next day I managed to roll out of bed at 3:30am and drive about 1.5 hours into town. I finally made it to this spot around 5:45am, thinking there'd be plenty of other photographers. To my surprise, I think maybe only one other photographer came and went during my time there.

It's a pretty simple shot, but I love the sun placement as well as the reflections in the water.
