Tank...

[BuS_RiDeR]

Posted this in the Beginners forum... But didn't get many C&C... So I thought I'd post it here.

Camera:Canon EOS 50D (Canon EF-S 17-85 IS USM)
Mode: AP
Aperture: F/5
Shutter Speed: 1/166
Focal Length: 38mm
ISO: 100
Crop: 2:1 Aspect Ratio

The scene is too static ... for a subject like that, the surroundings should complement it.

Also looks like it blends with the background a bit too much. Lack of contrast. It's like my brain says "yes, I see something I like there" but my eyes aren't able to pull the tank out in any sort of wonderous glory.

Subject a bit underexposed IMO and there is not enough contrast for a BW

Thanks for the comments.

As for the tank being underexposed... it actually isn't. It is painted a dark green/grey color, so it does blend with the background.

Here is a copy of the original... AND a second edit I did in Sepia...

I actually preffer the Sepia... however I wasn't sure what forum to put it in so I posted the B&W instead.
