An Old Postcard (Black & White, Gateway Arch National Park)

            A variation of an idea I use to help compose images while visiting national parks. The idea being to get ideas from a national park gift shop and use that to find and then compose images. Here I went with a variation of that thought and used a conversion to black & white with Silver Efex Pro 2 where I used some color filters to bring out a much richer tonal contrast for the final image. I then added a Antique Portrait recipe for paper toning and vignette in the final image.
