Worst scene, always ruins it for me

I've scene this movie three times and I've read the book. Despite the differences between the book and the movie (that's always a given) and other problems with the film, I like it. It's entertaining and gives the viewer an idea of how desperate things can get for soldiers under fire.

However, there is one scene that always stands out as being just terrible and breaks the spell of the movie for me. It occurs just after the photographer, played by Barry Pepper, has fought and then returns to his camera in order to document the fight. What follows is a series of black and white images of the battle that would have been very effective on their own. Instead, we are shown color scenes of the photographer superimposed on the b&w photos, while he is taking photos or reacting to what is going on around him. It feels like an after thought that was added after the principal shooting was complete. I have always felt that scene to be tacky and very out of sync with the rest of the film.

Anybody else bothered by this scene? Or perhaps some of you especially enjoyed that scene. Thoughts?
