Americana

Was in Cape May, NJ last spring and had a great time walking around town photographing the old victorian houses. It was overcast so I had even lighting. Image was made converting to B&W using Silver Efex(as you can see I like this plug in) then using the tonal filter in Nik color efex. Finally hand coloring the bottom of the flag.

Dave, Looks great! The flag is a really nice touch to a lovely composition.

I love the composition as is. I'd leave it in B&W. It's strong enough an image without the color....

I agree...leave it as is. I would think about another round of sharpening though...the entire image feels a little bit soft.
