Well done, the image is a powerful one and from a technical perspective this photo is strong. The monuments in the background coupled with the woman's pensive, somewhat sombre pose cause the photo to make one question what it is to be a hero, and what it is to be human. The fog is very nice too and the ducks really add to it. Good shot!!

She's giving her nose a wipe isn't she. Really like how she contrasts with the ridiculous warlike figure on the monument.

Perspective is excellent - fantastic use of black and white. As Carol points out the contrasts are great on a number of levels. Well done.

Thanks for everyone's kind words. I t was one of those shot where as soon as I saw the scene before I knew it would make a great black and white photo.
