This is a part of a statue of a soldier outside the D-Day museum on Southsea sea front, that caught my attention. Who it is modeled on I have no idea, I am guessing it is a representation of the many soldiers who were involved in the D-Day landing, my father being one of them.

Thank you as always for all your C&C's very much appreciated

Thanks for taking the time to look

Hugh

Excellent composition, going in just close enough while maintaining respect. And the green, vibrant background is rather moving as a contrast.

A rather aesthetically beautiful image, however on the other-side of the coin, extremely emotive.

Really well composed, Hugh. And clearly somewhere new for us to visit next time we head south.

The comp you chose works so well and the details are excellent. Whoever made this statue really captured an amazing sense of the moment.

A fine detailed shot Hugh.
My father was in the Merchant Navy during the war.
He was not at D-Day,but on the convoys to Murmansk and Archangel.

Thank you for this Hugh, my father was also involved in D-Day-- a reconnaissance flyer--- up early and flying in the fog--- They did a good thing that day-- at a terrible cost!

Reminds me of a soldier statue in Cartagena in Spain, looking just as sad and dejected. Nice detail on the statue here, Hugh.
