 One of the bronze plaque thingies at the Navy Memorial.

Let's see, lots of processing with this one. First of all, I distorted the original so I could do a square crop on just the plaque. Adjusted levels. TA Portrait Smooth, then switched to Topaz Clean (what with all the talk about it today) and used the Flat preset but then tweaked the settings. Made a dupe layer, Normal blending mode, 56%. May have done one more pass of TA, but I can't remember for sure. I did do Poster Edges. Added border.

First, I love the distortion created in the image by squaring it up, they're all tilting as the ship is lilting :-) Reminds me of a woodblock painting or something like that. Thanks for sharing your processing techniques, this is very cool!
