    Re: Cold War

    Nice exposure, though borderline too constrasty (I like it). Subject is ok but the composition asks for something else, maybe without the sloping hill behind. But then again, it seems like its right out of the Battle of the Bulge and just tore over that hill in an attack... but I guess that's my imagination

    If you could try from another angle it might be even better, but I'm not sure of what angle...

    Re: Cold War

    Michael, my only critique would be that the subject seems pulled out of context, I would love to see what is going on around the tank.

    I think that the tank is too close, it covers too much of the view. On the positive side, I like that the pipe is still ready to "shoot" despite the tank is only a mountain of rubbish...

    Re: Cold War

    Thanks for the comments everyone.

    Rick, you are right. This tank is taken out of context. It is sitting in a local park with nothing else around it. Just the hill in the BG, a bathroom to the right and parking lot in front of it... It is roped off so I wanted to get close enuf to avoid getting the rope or post in it.

    Thanks again!
