I had never been to Iowa before and was up there with my girlfriend. She owned a home there, she took me to see John Wayne's birth home and the Bridges of Madison County while we were there. I am an avid photographer and of course wanted to capture shots of all the bridges as well as John Wayne's house and anything else that I could while there.
I used Photoshop, with TopazLabs plugins, Detail and Clarity to create this finished photo. I also beta test for Topaz and The Plugin Site as well as for Microsoft from time to time. I've taken over 300,000 photos since I moved to the mountains of Arizona from Georgia seven years ago. I was once a police officer for Atlanta and Gwinnett County P.D.s.
