Converging Diagonals: Washington Monument

Uploaded: December 11, 2011 20:13:42

Description

I wanted to isolate just the monument and three flags at the bottom to give a sense of symmetry, with all of the lines converging upward. I experimented quite a bit in Lightroom with the black and white conversion to get the bricks and clouds to pop just right.

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
