Red Cross

The American Red Cross National Headquarters, pictured here, was completed in 1917. It serves in part as a memorial to the women who served in the Civil War. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1965. The Washington Monument is in the background.

Great selective color and processing. I have a friend very active in Red Cross...she would love this image...as do I !

@eyesmile Thanks, Gena! The funny thing is that the color version I took just after this one doesn't look too different.

Lovely building and shot.

I really like your composition and the pop of color from the red cross!

@tonygig Thanks, Tony.

@bluemoon Thank you, Paula!

You made this shot just in time, in a short period of time those trees would have made this impossible. Looks good.

[Khawbecker]

@roghan That's exactly what I thought! :) I'll have to revisit this shot once the leaves are out to compare.

Beautiful...

Great shot Karen! Nice b&w with the lone red and the Washington Monument peeking in!

[Khawbecker]

@pdulis Thanks, Peter. :)

@davydo Thank you, Dave!

I like your choice of selective color and the way you've brought the monument into the background.

@taffy Thanks, Taffy. I took the same photo in color and laughed to see that it didn't add much color. And I thought this was more dramatic. I enjoy playing with selective color.
