Lincoln Memorial

I decided to upload something OTHER THAN Alaska stuff today. I'm

experimenting with (and hopefully learning about) night time

exposures. The lighting around this monument is drastic. The

"ghosts" are the MANY MANY tourists that you can't avoid at any of the

DC monuments unless you have National Park Service authority to close

it down... LOL!! Anyway, comments or ratings are appreciated as

usual. :-)

Hi Lou Ann! The ghosts at Mr Lincoln's feet are fine. The one on the wall to the right is great! The composition of the columns is good, too. I like the gold tones on the wall, but the yellow on the white marble of the sculpture itself is distracting. I think I would have used an 80B filter to correct for the color temperature. Mr Lincoln's right shoulder is a little overexposed. Regards.

whoa, lou anne, this is awesome! a lil bit over exposed on the top part of the statue, but other than that brilliant!

The contrast between the statue and the onlooker is very good. Well done, lou Ann!

Very nice... almost a "spiritual" aspect to this.

well captured and underrated shot
