Vietnam Veterans Memorial Gazebo

Taken in Newport, Oregon this past week. I waited for the sunset in general and this was a bonus shot for me. Worked out much better than expected.

Mouse over for before image.

Shot with K-7 & 18-55 sand-proof lens, edited in PS3: Adjusted levels, increased saturation, darkened fringe.
