Default Memorial Day - America

Sunday-the day before Memorial Day-I ventured over to the local Idaho Venetian's cemetery because I knew they would have hundreds of American flags presented that would make quite a sight, and to pay respects to my Grandfather too.

Anyhow, I cam out with these photos. Your comments would be much appreciated as well.

Thanks,
--Hershey :-))


For all of those, who have served so valiantly and given their lives, to protect our country, people, and freedoms, may we never let this flag fall.

I like how you did the first one .... how did you just isolate the color on just one flag?

Wow. Thanks everyone! I really enjoyed taking them and was very shocked when they turned out this great. Glad everyone liked them so much.

Only the 1st photo has a little bit of more advanced photoshopping done to it, the others just have very minor photoshopping done (Crop + a little bit of lighting fixes).

The 1st one was made using a layer mask. I also made another copy of the same shot with all of the flags colored, but I prefer the one with just one flag B&W as it looks more like an older photo.

Thanks,
