War and Peace


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   War and Peace
War and Peace
Two allegorical figures representing War and Peace on the Soldier's National Monument at Gettysburg National Cemetery. They seemed so real, I had to keep telling myself it is only carved stone that has been here for over 100 years. Amazing work! F12.0, 1/200 sec, ISO: 50, Program Mode, 10/16/2005

Ken Cole 		  Thank you, Carla. The "semi-sepia" look is actually quite real from weathering effects on the monument. I just enhanced that a little and used slight lighting effects in PSE.
