| This is one of the tanks left behind by the retreating American forces in south Viet Nam. It's on display in the war museum in Cu Chi. If you look carefully you can see the bullet holes in the armour. These were from a single suicide fighter who would atttack the tank with a handgun and distract the crew while another man would run in and lay antitank mines at the last minute. |

wow, thanks for the info. very menacing looking, great capture, Nick.
interesting documentary shot. good point of view and perspective. I think it would help to increase the contrast a bit more.
cheers,
behrang
Good POV (a touch more contrast?), creates an almost 'documentary' image - by that I mean that it shows how that war went for the Americans.
The note is also useful in showing that the strongest force is not always the winning one.
