Description
Italy, June 1944 - Colorized. Choosing the right colors is always tough, even when making war images, the greens vary quite a bit. I found that they weren't always olive drab, some had rust stains, others were different shades. The uniforms were neither green nor brown and some were both depending how you looked at it. So I made a mixture of the two, using many layers, and many shdes. I chose a sky that had a nice depth to it, I didn't want a sunny day sky, just a muted indirect light, to set the mood and to add distance.
