Korean War Memorial

[Mike Mancil]

The Washington DC memorials in Spring resemble an ant bed stirred with a stick but with a little patience and a tad of Photoshop cloning, the tourist can be eliminated.

I can't really say I seen this memorial before. It has a ghostly feel to it. Your image conveys that feeling well.

Very cool shot Mike! It tugs at the heart.

As for the people, if you were using a tripod you could take 3 or 4 shots making sure to shoot after people have moved around a bit, then turn the layers into a Smart Object in Photoshop and change the stacking method to Median or Minimum and the people disappear.

Thanks much.

@Jim: Yeah, I keep meaning to try that but I didn't bring a tripod on this trip, in fact, didn't bring my big rig either. Packing room was tight and I just went with the small mirrorless. Oh, there was a bus, too .

Nice one, Mike! I dig the flow from right to left as the soldiers gain mass and get closer to the camera.

I visited this memorial a number of years back - tons to shoot!

Thanks, these monuments are emotional to me, glad I was able to capture some of the ambiance.

Well done, I can't see the cloning. B&W fits it well.

This would be really scary if it was misty.. really spooky looking the way it is though, great shot.

Thanks, I would love to see this around dawn (as well as the Vietnam Memorial) but we were being more tourist than photogs on this trip .
