Default Old Glory overexposed

I took some some shots of the flag at a nearby bank and I was playing around with the nd filter and various settings and took some high keys shots and then brightened a little and then sucked the contrast right out of them......I love contrasty shots but these turned out looking like watercolors...the pp was done with the simple Canon camera software...no photoshop here.

The third and fourth shots are really surreal, the fourth shot looks so sharp, and the 3rd shot has a great blending of the background and flag. The watercolor effect thing is pretty cool too, neat stuff
