Shot at a re-enactment at Peak Rail 1940's weekend.
PS work.
crop and rotate
levels, curves
saturation lowered to give it a historic feel.
smart sharpen
more curves to darken the background
selective colour to lose some of the distraction in the woods.

time travel aside, one can only wonder how you came across this scene! the slightly muted colours are very nice, and i like the composition of the bikes. it's a bit on the bright side, but it does look like it could have been lifted straight from a history book; though is the top sign pointing towards the SS golf club? anyway, over all this is quite dynamic, and given the subject matter, quite evocative of thought. pig about the fence in the foreground though. 7.
Nice capture. Well composed, and the muted colors seem very appropriate to the subject matter. My only complaint would be the out of focus wire in the foreground.
An old BMW? Nice photo. There was a time that the opposition tied wires across the road to bring down their motorcycle-riding opponents. Not a nice way to go.
This is a great shot. Part of me wants it to be grainy/authentic looking, but it's also nice to have a pseudo shot from this era nice and sharp. Good use of saturation too.
Big ww2 buff here, so I like the subject matter. Meets the challenge so that is good. Overall the shot is a little dark and it looks like the focus is a bit soft on the bike. At the same time, the darkness of the shot does give a sense of the dark days of war so it works.
We'll definitely be checkin the date in your EXIF! LOL
I assume (and hope like hell) that this is a movie set. Great job. THe processing has that "Band of Brothers" gritty feel to it.
