Spirit of American Youth - US War Memorial

[welshphreak]

My first posting on here from a very amateur budding photographer. Taken at the US War Cemetary in Normandy. I think I oversharpened it but apart from that im sure there are a million other improvments that can be made. All comments good and bad welcomed!

Nice image...


...but boy did the artist get American Youth wrong! :roll:

A modern interpritation would have a fat kid with a bad back and poor eysite sitting on a sofa staring at the Nintendo! :wink:

Could you by any chance add color to the clouds??
i like what you were trying to accomplish. Red was awesome i just thought the sky would finish it off.
Croping off the bottom a bit so that the base would be the red.

just a thought. Good pic

Thats my kind of shot......

Nice job on the flowers.

Unfortunate timing with the diretion of light, but the light on the loin cloth is distracting. You should've rotated the statue a bit so the light hit from the front a little more.

I like it a lot. Is there a specific technique for that effect other then masking out all the flowers individually?
