Freedom's Gaze

Uploaded: March 14, 2012

Description

A heavily modified photo of the plaster model of the statue of Freedom that sits atop the US Capitol; I wanted a poster-like treatment,
but the "Posterize" filter in PS just didn't cut it. (Original in Discussion Thread.)

Exif: F Number: 6.3, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/30 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 400, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 56.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 7D
