Have you tried going back in more subdued light? I can't really see the
uniform and other artifacts inside the cart. The uniform, for example,?has
no detail at all. My eye is somewhat overwhelmed by the brightness of the
cart.
Also,?a polarizing filter might also help?eliminate the reflections, unless
you?intend the reflections to be part of your story.
If you really want to go all out, put a child at one end looking in and take
the shot through the other end of the cart :-)
Amazing tribute, especially in it's longevity. Good for them for?keeping the
memory of the apparent duty and sacrifice fresh. Thank you for sharing.
Best,
Bob

Subject: [Leica] IMG: Remembering
I drove past this memorial many times.
<http://www.imagist.com/blog/?p=1247>
Several weeks ago, on my way after caring for my granddaughter
I stopped to photograph it with the lens that was on the camera: 75 lux, M8.
As I processed the image it became increasingly clear
that this main feature of the memorial needed its context; its environment.
After caring for Sophia yesterday; I returned with the 15 Heliar on the M8 .
A slide show of the results can be seen here
<http://www.imagist.com/memorial_09/>
For all of these images, I still don't feel that I've captured this scene.
Who made and maintains this tribute?
When did the building of it begin?
Who did (or does) the uniform belong to?
Regards,
George Lottermoser
