Default Top of the Thomas Jefferson Memorial
Before:

cap bldg copy

After:

cap bldg solorized copy

I use PSE6. Under the filters menu, I clicked on Other and then High Pass Filter and then boosted it to its maximum @250 pixels. And then increased the contrast 50% and then played with the color curves.

And TY to Donato2 to teaching me new things. Did I do OK?

This is just pretty- reminding me of that 'Topaz' effect- and on the other hand; it's reminding me of "Independence Day"- with Will Smith (scary) Good job.

I love it, private. It's a fresh look on a classic monument. I especially like the colors and the clouds.
