Thank you.

I don't use Lightroom, and I haven't done much Photoshop in the last couple years, so some of my skills are really rusty.

I did use layer masks on curves & levels to make the headstones pop & NIK filters to push contrast as far as I could to try and make the headstones more readable.

The original RAW file had almost no contrast between the stones & the inscriptions.

I'll take another look & see if I can bring the stones up a bit more, and maybe post a substitute if I think I can do better.

I like this; particularly the colors and the texture of the headstones.

One might use the brush in LR to brighten the headstones a stop or so.

Been kinda' saving this one for the Fourth of July.

My mom used to live up near Roxboro, NC and there was a back way I could drive 
up there from Raleigh that avoided most of the major traffic.

I passed this old graveyard along the way whenever I'd go up to visit her.

It's just a simple place with rocks for grave markers and simple crosses made 
from PVC pipe. Nothing to mark it out as special, but then one day I noticed 
the three headstones and stopped to look at them more closely.
