A riveting photo of this sculpture, Tara! And very appropriate for the current situation... Wonder if there's gonna be another Korean war...
Very powerful
Wary or (war) weary?
Very very very well taken !!
Thanks to you and Bill for posting these images. This wasn't there when I last visited D.C. The artist has done some stunning work. You can see fear, fatigue and alertness in this face, desperately trying to find danger before it finds him.
A most outstanding piece of work.
wysiwig said it all - tiredness, awareness, fear. The artist has done a fantastic job here. Every soldiers problems in one facial expression. Thanks for seeing and recording this! Keep up the good work. Just hope we don't need another Korean war memorial, considering the times we are in. :-)
I can feel his emotion...looking forward to a few more that I know you have up your sleeve:)
Superb capture Tara. God bless.
A closeup reveals the palette-knife markings and the metal coming through on the sculpture. It gives a lot of life to the it. It also brings out the fatigued expression. These 4 shots are very powerful, and they zoom in on what I presume is one of the very powerful aspects of this collection: The wariness and fatigue of soldiers at war. Also, the white sky on top is a fine balance to all the detail below...Really poignantly done.
