Description

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

Exif: FNumber: 12, ExposureBiasValue: 0/10, ExposureTime: 0.005, Flash: flash did not fire, ISO: 50, WhiteBalance: auto white balance

Beautiful work on your part, too, Ken. #329799

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. #1972434
