Iwo Jima

Uploaded: December 08, 2011

Description

Found this memorial to be exceptionally moving, and I am Canadian. In view of the recent anniversary of Pearl Harbour, I think this is a fitting submission.

For this particular photo I used a telephoto lens to capture face detail as there were hordes of peoples milling about and climbing all over the place for group photos . . . grr

This closeup makes it very personal and maybe we need to see more of that to understand the sacrifice better. #1429844

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed.
