I have a feeling these postcards will not be in all the usual touristy places ... perhaps would have been even better suited to the Negative Space challenge.

Lincoln Memorial

Comment:
I didn't think of building my own monument! I'd have used a newer one on the top though, to make sure the image of Lincoln was a little clearer.

I happen to like it when photos look like paintings, especially when it suits the subject. Love the color; I'd play with the tone curves but just to see what it would look like rather than to recommend any specific change (I bet you've done that already!). If I was going to print this, I'd probably play with sharpening it a bit first, and then running it through a "Canvas" or "Oil Pastel" filter.

And now you've reminded me of a great place to have photographed near where I grew up ....

That must be quite impressive in person. It's interesting that, as photographed, it's really impossible to tell if this is a 50-foot tall statue or a tabletop piece! I'm not sure if that ambiguity is useful in the context if this challenge.

Men At War!!

I think I'd have tried to keep the sword tip, at the expense of some of the pedestal if necessary.

I would have been SO tempted to make it a purple duotone to take advantage of the perfect clouds for this subject!
