Great picture. I love the somber tones of the B&W, very appropriate for the monument.
I actually know this battle. I studied it back in the day when I served in the U.S. Army. Excellent example of bravery and tactics in difficult mountain terrain as I recal.
I hope it look as good in real life as it looks on your photograph!
Cheers!
