Me, Iraqi war tank

    I leave this description after two years of posting this Image!
    When I tried to shot this photo, I was an absolutely newby in photography, even in PS etc.
    Now I can find too many mistakes of this shot by myself, and know that with a bit level and curve adjusting, it should be such a better shot. Even I could remove that annoying boy at the background...
    Okay, today I used fd's scoute to find my top most interesting photos, and unbelievably found that the rank of this photo is 1! So posted it to the interestingness group.

    -Added to the Cream of the Crop pool as most interesting.

      Too distracting and the power lines have to go.

      I wonder about the title: "Iraqi WAR tank". Is there something like a "Peace Tank?".

      I have a similar picture of me sitting on a crashed Egyptian Mig fighter jet (1973).

    37. Hamed Saber (64 months ago | reply)

      @Fresco: lol. I mentioned the "war" world just because of recognizing it from a water tank or flash tank :D

      Wow looks so mighty and powerful mean machine with lots of history. love the way the turret points up.

    41. Hamed Saber (64 months ago | reply)

      @*.flickr: Thanks a lot!

      @Bernie Led: Who knows what is its history?! Who knows how many people killed with this tank? Who knows how many soldiers killed in this tank?!
      US paid Iraq for buying these to attack Iran, and then attacks Iraq itself!

    42. Fresco! (64 months ago | reply)

      US money to buy RUSSIAN-MADE tanks? Come on...

    43. Hamed Saber (64 months ago | reply)

      @Fresco: I'm not familiar with war stuff, if you say it's Russian made, I prefer to accept instead of search or ask others!

      @mattcr2006: Your buddy-icon has lots to say ;)
      BTW, thank you for the useful information.

      It's a sad shot. I wouldn't like to see tanks anywhere...
