Eddie Adams' iconic Vietnam War photo: What happened next - BBC News

This photo of a South Vietnam National Police Chief named Ngoc Loan executing a suspected Viet Cong member Nguyen Van Lem, on the second day of the Tet Offensive during the Vietnam War. This photo was taken on February 1st, 1968 by a photographer named Eddie Adams.

In this image it presents a slight disturbing tone due to the photo having no colour and the fact the image was taken just before the execution of Nguyen Van Lem. The photo represents what Vietnam was like around 50 years ago and shows the effect of the Viet Cong on Vietnam.

The police chief named Ngoc Loan seems to show no emotion when pulling the trigger to the suspected Viet Cong member, however the Vietnamese soldier in the background of the image seems to show a face of distress like he’s trying to stop the police chief from killing the suspect.

here I am selecting the photos that I think are the best by using shift p to pick and shift x to not pick, I do this a couple times until I have limited myself down to my best and favourite images.
once I have got down to 26 photos, I am now beginning to star rate my images, 5 stars being the best, and 1 star being the worst.
once I have chosen my final images, I have colour coded them. Purple images are objects, the green images are portraits and the yellow images are the buildings and interiors.

Editing my final images

for this image, I was interested in the white lighting hitting her dress, and wanted to add a cool tone to the image.
for this image, i was interested in the geometric lines that hit the shoes, a lowered the exposure so that these lines were sharper.
for this image I was interested in the reds in the image, and the texture of the wheel, so i brighted the image and sharpened it so that these two features were highlighted
