Words fail me to describe how unbelievable this picture is (click to see the full version):

WWII soldier

And to think, if he had bracketed the exposures, that would have made one hell of an HDR image.

Wow! This is really great. You have developed quite the photo skillset. You might now consider getting your best photos professionally printed and putting them on display. Also, you’ve now quite a portfolio to start free lancing and making some money from your hobby. Great job!

Oops! This one isn’t yours. I can be such a doofus. Still, you are good enough for what I suggested.

I have this framed and hanging in my house.

Got it out of an old LIFE magazine reprint.

Do you have any background on the pic?

“Pvt. Paul Oglesby, 30th Infantry, standing in reverence before an altar in a damaged Catholic Church. Note: pews at left appear undamaged, while bomb-shattered roof is strewn about the sanctuary. Acerno, Italy.” Benson, September 23, 1943. 111-SC-188691
