Dear All
The title says it all!
First impressions by moonlight...
With primer and a scratched base:
The result:
And the traditional final comparison shot:
In memory of those who lost their lives in the Pacific Theatre of WW2.
Thanks for watching!

Superb work! :)
I highly recommend the following movies that centre on this evocative image:
Flags of our Fathers
- the story of the men in the photo and the events surrounding it both before and afterwards
Letters from Iwo Jima
- the same story but from the Japanese side. IMHO, this is actually the better of the two movies.

Hi
Thanks!
A friend of mine lent me exactly those two movies a couple of years ago.
I would say the movies complement each other.
