My grandfather in Russia during WWII.

I chose this picture, because it gives me chills. I can never imagine what he and his fellow soldiers had to go through, what it felt like to lose friends in the field and come back all disenchanted and injured.






I am proud to have inhereted all his pics. (5 years and 3321 days ago)

this is very nice piece author.. the story throws it over the top... You may want to weaken the color saturation to give it more earth tones. but that's just for the contest.. the emotional attachment you have for the subject is quite evident.. I'm sure you have done your ancestry proud

GOOD LUCK

(thank you for sharing such a personal image with us)

Good work, but too much green in the final version, especially in the border. IMHO a simple sky gradient in the background & white border would help your image. GL.

I really liked step 2. I would go from that step but add some brown for the mud and such and possibly some blue to the sky.

author says:

Thanks for your comments. I tried your suggestions and liked them, but still felt I wanted it to be dirty and old looking to underline the historical background.

Howdie stranger!
