Behold, The Tombs of Our Fathers Photo

Photographer’s Note

Vicksburg National Military Park

I initially used Digital Photo Pro (came with the camera) to adjust Brightness and Sharpness. I prefer this software over Photoshop to adjust sharpness.

Next, I used Photoshop to adjust Shadows / Highlights and make them more pronounced. I also Selectively Adjusted Cyan to give the sky a more profound blue. Finally, I did just a bare touch of Selectively Adjusting Yellow to give the Eagle a bit more gold and bring out the browns in the stone.

Hi Jon
I think the post processing is very well done. The hue of the blue sky is a perfect background for the golden eagle. The details on the marble are also nicely shown.
