I was trying to create a black and white image that looked like the soldiers were charging out of the woods.Editing
Used Nik Silver Efex Pro and lightly adjusted to get an entire range of black.In my camera bag
Nikon D800, Nikon 24-70 and Nikon 14-24Feedback
I spent a fair amount of time walking around the statue to find the correct angle. In addition I took a large number of images from a variety of angles, using the widest angle of the lens. Probably spent close to an hour looking at the statue and various views.
