EDIT - Added red and blue to flag.

The infamous Iwo Jima photo, the ultimate depiction of war in a single photo. This picture is a remake of the original which showed a group of Marines and a Navy Corps Man raising the flag on Mount Suribachi during the horrific battle of Iwo Jima.

This picture might not show a tank shooting an artillery round, or a nuke exploding, but the other side of what war is..the honor, the courage, and the commitment.

Very well done here!

Lovely man, this is just too good. :) I've always loved pictures with a gray scale with just one certain object with few non-gray colors to just make the picture pop out. I think the colors here give the picture a better impact that when it was all gray. You definitely have my vote. :)

I like this even better now, with the colored flag.

FlyGuy (Level 7 Underboss) at 7/23/2008 8:01:22 AM
To tell you the truth, I can't really see the color in his without straining or having to zoom in. I think that defeats the purpose. Its a good idea though. Do you think the all grey or the this one is better?

We have the winner. I also made a small edit so you can see if the saturation helps it a bit  http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/7634/37995213ed3.gif

Edited the flag, I like the idea you had. Hopefully this improves it, if not I'll resubmit the grey version

Great job! I bet this piece could win the previous "Iconic photo" challenge.
