 * Comment. My only complaint is the blown highlights.  I've contacted the photographer on Flickr to ask for an unprocessed version; if he responds and shares the original, I'll give it a shot at reprocessing.--ragesoss (talk) 17:41, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

 * The photographer sent me the original; unfortunately, it's a jpeg, but it's well-exposed. I played around with it some, but I couldn't get the same level of pop as in this version without blowing out the highlights.  Someone more skilled than me might want to take a crack at it: File:Dean Franklin - 06.04.03 Mount Rushmore Monument (by-sa) - original.jpg. --ragesoss (talk) 00:15, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Feel free to try again with a new version. --Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 19:07, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
