 I decided to take the day off and walk around Gettysburg, PA. I have always been intrigued by Gettysburg and the Civil War.

I did very little to this shot:
Convert from RAW
Added NIK Sienna filter
Cloned out some dust spots
Resized and saved for challenge

Very nice capture. I think the colors are awesome as well as the vantage point. I think this would of been perfect for the cowboy challenge. Course I dont know many cowboys with swords, but still. Keep up the good work

Man. This shot got hammered. I really like it, but I think the figure should be a lot darker. Silhouettes look the best when the subject is almost completely black. BUT you definitely have a certain style here and I commend you on the picture.
