In April 1944 around 639 Americans were killed whilst practicing for the D Day landings on Slapton Sands. This is the memorial to Operation Tiger nearby at Torcross.

Re: Operation Tiger
A nice monument that you composed well Wayne. for me, the color popping you did, seems to over power the over all effect of the image IMO.

agree, in this case I don't think it works...maybe had you gone close for the flags and the central reef, it could have workedOriginally posted by tesarver View Post:- Ian

Re: Operation Tiger
Cheers Fellas. I think I'll have a play with it, maybe de-saturate the poppies quite a bit.TS-E17 F4L, 70-300L, 100 F2.8L Macro. http://www.flickr.com/photos/waynelsworth/Comment

Re: Operation Tiger
Oh I actually like it, it being in black and white emphasises the time when wartime movie reel news of the time were all black and white with the red of the poppies bringing it into the present and showing they haven't been forgotten. Nicely done.
I would desaturate the wood between two of the poppy rings though, as it looks out of place as the rest of the frame has been done.Canon 1DX, 50D, EF500 F4.0 L, EF100-400 f/4.5-5.6L I , EF100-400 f/4.5-5.6L II, EF70-200 f/2.8L II, EF180 f3.5L Macro, EF 24-105 f/4L, EF17-40 f/4L, EF2.0X III, EF1.4X III, 430EX II, MR-14EX...Comment
