Battlefield Antietam - Roulette Farm

Congratulations! One of my favorites! Would love to have this framed on my wall! You should sell prints! There is a local artist who has a nationwide following, and, he paints scenes similar to this composition.
 
I used Photomatix Pro - you can buy it online. I just manipulated it until I got the sky looking like I remembered it - the rest went along with that. It was the sky that made me take the photo, all those boiling clouds coming from the same direction that the armies came from in 1862. But the camera would not reproduce the sky that way so I had to have the computer help.
I use Photomatix too. Fabulous job here. It's easy to overdo it and yours is beautifully subtle.
 
This really is a wonderful photo. Next time I visit Antietam I'll have to scout out that spot. Congratulations on winning the contest.
