stormdogObvious? Yes. Cliched? Sure. Iconic? Certainly.
Looking at St. Louis Missouri's Gateway Arch from under the three flagpoles just to its east on the Mississippi riverfront. Wow; it's really, really tall. (Check out those people standing at the right leg.)
This is the most heavily processed picture I've posted I think. I played with light and dark levels. I upped saturation and contrast a little bit. I played with brightness a skosh. I fixed the barrel distortion from my lens with the lens correction tool. I removed a bunch of little dark spots from the sky with the spot healing tool (must have been shmutz on my UV filter). And finally, I applied some sharpening.
What do you think? Can you tell? Does it look over-processed? Does it look good? It's kind of hard to look at it objectively, especially without much experience. I'm kind of learning as I go here, but I'm having fun in the process.

ankhorite and savant_da_rat on finalizing trip plans. Finally got my stuff out of the car from my St. Louis trip. *yawns* I think I need to brush my teeth and get to bed. I is a tired pup.
