This is the Women's Vietnam Memorial located near The Wall. I was struck by the realism in both faces. The post processing consisted of a slight vignette around the edged and some dodge/burn in order to correct some hot spots and bring out a little shadow details.

I just wanted to capture this because of the lines. On top of the cool quote from President Truman, the lines create a clean composition. The post work consisted of changing in to B

This was shot at the WWII Memorial. I loved how the rising sun created that back lit look on both the fountain and the Washington Momument. Post work just consisted of making some levels adjustments and slight hue adjustment for the sky. I think I also did a bit of dodging to the fountain to make it a bit lighter.

On the Mall as you walk from the WWII to Vietnam Memorials, there is a small pond on the inside of the mall area with a tiny island. These willows were on that tiny island and I just loved the way they light hit them, the reflections in the water, and the feeling of softness it gave.

This was taken at the WWII Memorial under one of the large archways at either end. I enjoy finding photos from lesser seen perspectives. So, as I stood under the arch I looked up.
Post work consisted of creating two layers, one for the sky and the other for the wreath. I blended the two layers then cleaned it up a bit and added some sharpness. |
Taken from the north side of the WWII Memorial. The lighting coming in from the left made it perfect for a wide-angle landscape type shot.
