Mornings and scenes like that are why I used to duck hunt. Truly, the sounds of silence.

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.

Re: Took a picture this morning.
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.

Re: Took a picture this morning.
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..

That's pretty cool, Fred.
You see in this world there are two kinds of people my friend, those with loaded guns... and those who dig. You dig.

Thanks Jackson, you have given me some interesting ideas for some pictures. The depth of field on your photo is awesome!

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