Hello -

This is an excellent portrait of the two soldiers conversing. The only thing that I can say about the image is that the highlights on the left side of the confederate's face are right at the point OE. A little fill flash to balance the exposure or having the guys move into open shade would have solved the problem. With the fill flash - expose of the highlights and let the flash fill (dial down the flash -1EV or -2EV) in the UE areas. Anyway, well done!

Thank you for sharing

John

Czesc,
ladny portret i scenka z inscenizacji bitwy. Fajne naturalne kolory i glebia ostrosci. Widac, ze Amerykanie pielegnuja swoja historie. Mnie sie to skojarzylo z naszym Grunwaldem.
