That raised the hair on the back of my neck. Beautiful picture. I think I need a moment like that to reconnect myself to what's important in life.

Actually I can't think of too many conditions where a Russian conscript would be advancing into a sunrise. Ivan marched West to Berlin, as i recall. Great Picture though. :biggrin:

Nice picture! If you have access to photo editing, playing around with the contrast and making it B&W or sepia might be fun.

Powerful image. I like it.

I took the liberty to play around a bit with your photo. The B&W did not do very well. And they usually sepia toned the pictures anyway, keeps the silver from tarnishing on the photos..

cell phone camera, that's my special trick XD

tried to reproduce it with an SLR but i couldn't get it to focus the same, must need a special lens.
