A couple of composite that I put together from Arlington Cemetery and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. With the filters here on the Hog I hope these transforms well.

Very nice work, Dave.

I would certainly make prints and offer them to the individuals who were the subject.

These are very nice, and very emotion-laden images that are strong on impact as soon as you look at them, even moreso when you download.

It appears they started with strong photographs but the real magic is what you did in post to put the entire image together and hold it together with textures and blending and masking and who knows what else.

I am hoping you'll tell us more about your work as you share it with us here.

As for the weirdness of how UHH renders our photos, try exporting to sRGB color space when you prepare your images for UHH and see if that makes a difference. It does for mine, even the monochromes.

Thank you Bob !!! I would be willing to do that but there is a problem. I don't know them and they are in the D.C. area as far as I know and have no clue as to how to make contact. Any suggestions?

Thank you minniev !!! I appreciate your kind compliments. As time goes on I will start to be a little more descriptive in my posts. I am so terrible at that.

I thought my color profiles were already set to sRGB but come to find out .... I was wrong. I will change that to see if there is any difference. Thank you for the advise.
