"Summer Show-off Challenge #4"

After

This picture is of the railing at the Capital Building in Columbia South Carolina.  I started the edit by adding an unsharp mask.  I then added a levels adjustment layer and adjusted each layer.  I ended the edit by burning the color in the background to make it pop against the iron railing.  I really enjoyed taking this picture of the railing.  I sat down on the cool marble flooring of the capital porch and took shots from different angels with different settings.  I really enjoyed my trip and seeing all the statues around the beautiful building.
