This 100 foot-long wall of solid black granite is inscribed with the names of the 3,095 Ohioans who gave their lives in the Viet Nam War. The statue is a tribute to Gold Star Mothers.
Two shots posted of same image - one with control points and warping...which points out of the two shots do you like and not like.
I didn't like the sky in the top right corner so I cropped some of it out and toned it down in the control points version.
I also didn't like the smaller building on the left so squared that up....which lost me the big flower pot thing on left side.
The lighting on the grass was too central so I spread it out and up on the control points shot....I also greyed the clouds on the left with some more control point work.
There are some other control points but do they matter to your eye or not?
Post processed in HDR Efex Pro using Grannys Attic preset, adjusting warmth to +15 and using Control Points to enhance the building and clouds.

CN 5655 and CN 2597 lead 2 buffer cars and a loaded ethanol unit train eastbound at milepost 86.30 on the CN Freeport Subdivision in Rockford, Illinois. They are about to cross Loomis Street and will be on the CN bridge over the Rock River in .30 miles and over the East Rockford control point/interlocking in .90 miles.
Yes, before you ask I WAS standing on a signal tower, and yes I know this is trespass most foul but the engineer smiled and waved, and I WAS right at his eye-level, sooooo..

I found this at Newfound Gap in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. My friend, George, worked for the US Coast and Geodetic Survey, as a surveyor (What else?) When I find these I often photograph them and send them to him. Why? Well, for one thing, it often reminds him of some good stories..
I think this is on the NC/TN state line.
