IMO the artist has evoked so many feelings within this image - the most important to me, the hopeless of war.

End of war
A sculpture from the Imperial War Museum, London.

CHris - you are right. The artist has encapulated a feeling of hopelessness in this sculpture and you have shot it well. However, I can't help but notice some halo/noise around the figure on the left (as you look at it it) - particularly around his head right arm/shoulder.

This is a very emotion provoking artwork, which I think you've captured in away that reflects that.
As you mention I see the hoplessness of war, I see these men all trying to deal with their inner demons, I also see a kind of mateship "sticking together, and seeing it through". The texture and gray tones really add to the sombre mood of hoplessness, just a stark contrast to the propaganda machines of the day.
Chris,
I like it! and love the impression on those figures. Are we still at war? while there're still many of our men and women on the other sides of the world. Birddog114

This sculpture is from the end of the first world war as indicated by the helmets being worn.
I have just been watching the History channel with a program recounting the crucification of a Canadian soldier at Ypres in 1915, now proven to be true. Chris

Interesting, which side wore those helmets? They look pretty much identical to what the German Wehrmacht wore during WWII (though quite unlike what the imperial German forces wore during WWI). Re the picture, I think you've nailed the framing perfectly. It gives the sculpture just the right amount of space to talk, no more, no less. Cheers Steffen.
