 As soon as I saw the title "Collections" I wanted to have my military-historian husband get out his tanks so I could experiment with them. I put it off till Tuesday evening, though, so I didn't have time to play with lighting much.

I resized, played with the color balance a bit, and then did a moderate desaturation and added a border.

When I saw this picture I thought about how well it goes with mine. Gave it a 7, really liked it because it filled up the whole image :)

good subject, just seems like it could have been presented more creatively,, maybe get then off the carpet.

nice collection but I think that you'd do better with more dramitic lighting and keep the dept of field closer to the lens.

Certainly gives the feel of a big collection. More DOF and an additional element, maybe a soldier figure, might help.

A little cluttered. I also think it I would like it better if the focus was on the front tank with the DOF gradually fading towards the back.

Too bad the tanks in front are not sharp. Still like it.
