That bottom image must seem a total waste. It is the hardest to capture. It shows nothing. It is therefore almost what Robert Capa would have captured with a contemporary camera.
I had a thing called a Yashica Dental Eye II, an incredible macro lens, with motor drive, ring flash etc. Fantastic pics. Over £800.00GBP in the late 80s. Only snag. It took 35mm film. I made literally thousands of pics on Ektachrome and later bought a slide digitiser. Finally, I gave the camera to a local charity shop, now worth £ 30-50 on e Bay. (Mine was pristine 100%)

I can understand what has been said about the last one, however, on the other hand, it could be considered as the viewpoint from a spy or deserter hiding nearby.
