    Sherman Tank, Film version

    Since it's not a German tank I dropped the name "Blitzkreig". Here if the film version...

    Normally, I am not a fan of black and white photos, so I don't comment much on them...However, this makes this photo...Color I believe would ruin it...I took my son to an old ww2 museum and took many pics and I came away not very happy with them..
    You have given me an idea to try...The black and white gives it that authentic look to it, that I am ready for battle look..I like it.....

    I like this alot Greg. Not only does it look great as b&w but you have alot of detail in all the right places. The composition is good as well as the dismal sky to backdrop this machine. Even with the clutter of vehicles behind it, it still stands out strong. Good work here.

    I also like this b/w and it has the appearance of an old photo. As Gary says it has all the detail without any forced manipulation whatsoever. Very nice indeed Greg.

    Interesting......

    Not all that great of lighting ( a little bit too even) for this kind of shot but you did well. I want to be bothered by the clutter in the background but I'm not. I think you have just enough separation between the tank and the other vehicles to make it work and the use of B&W makes the photo timeless.

    Not bad at all.
    No, I DON'T need that.
