War Game
4th Place

I used to play war games quite a lot when I was younger and could never shake the feeling that there was something of a shadow behind the games. This image was inspired by that memory.

Obviously there may be way too much Photoshop going on here to stay within the spirit of the CSLR Challenge. However I can confirm all the component images were taken within the period of the challenge.

...as did I...
You've done a great job of creating the feel of that shadow with the B&W upper half. I am normaly not a fan of heavily-controled studio shots but your concept and execution are simply outstanding.
Very well done.

Thanks for your kind comments Phil - the tank is a Sherman though I don't know which particular variant.

That's really rather good. In fact, that's very very good indeed. Most impressive. Excellent PS work.
I'm nearly speechless actually. I think we've found a challenger (no pun intended - what is the tank?) for iso's shot.

I'm a Londoner so I popped along to the Imperial War Museum to shoot the tank and gun. Then the graveyard is just over the road and I dug the war game out of a box. Of course its England so there's always some clouds to shoot.....
