This one was taken earlier that day at the Korean Memorial. Someone had tide this bandana to the chains around the memorial - on it was printed the Soldiers Creed. The original image was okay. Kinda of ordinary and flat.
Time to go dig up more!

Before and After - DC Monuments
I liked doing the before and after earlier so I thought I'd do a few more. I took this one last year as we were walking back to the car after a volleyball tournament right along the Potomac. The first shot is pretty in its own right - the reflection on the water and the nice blue twilight.
But, after a little messing around (vignetting, color and hue adjustments) it takes on another dramatic feeling.

With some highlighting and vignetting (although I'm not a total fan of heavy vignetting, this seemed to fit) the bandana pops and you're drawn in to read what it says.

Hey! This is Silly Goose Photography, and I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for leaving your encouraging words after I botched a few sets of pictures. It made me feel better that I'm not the only one . . . Thank you.
I've got to learn how to do this... I have bunches of pics that, though well composed, are just kind of "flat."
Will have to dig further into my Paintshop program.
