Nice POV Kristof - the vignetting is very effective here.. Nice memorial.. I find the text a little distracting from the picture but a nice idea to remember the heroes of D-Day.

Good morning Kristof,
A superb tribute to remember the historic Normandy Embarktion. You chose a well composed photo for the occasion, the vignetting enhances the appreciation for this image. I believe President Obama gave a speech for this anniversary observance. Well done and wishing you a good weekend.

Any one who has ever seen "Saving Private Ryan" Will have an extreme emotional response to this, as well as those that lost love ones and those that were THERE. This is a nice shot Kristof. A piece of history! Well done on the processing! Have you seen the movie? It's shocking.

Hello Kristof,

Bonsoir Kristof
Bonne idée cette mise en valeur de la barge de débarquement avec le vignettage.Do you remember where it is ?I suppose you went too to Arromanches, maybe to the cemetery of Colleville with its white crosses and maybe also that of La Cambe where are burried under impressive black crosses young German who were for some of them, victims too.We must never forget that in THIS "barge" on june 6th , young men were going towards fench lands, ready to sacrifice.It cannot be seen without intense emotion.
Cordialement

PS: there is a mistake in the second verse "coeur" should be instead of "cour"; maybe you noticed it ,but it was too late to change...

A strange monument, but well captured with your vignette/gradient effect around it, I can imagine this shot in b&w too, I think it would be even more powerful.

I really can't get into the titles-in-frames. They were really popular in posters in the 1980s and 1990s but it looks very old fashioned now.

Bonjour Kristof,

Il leur en aura fallu du courage pour débarquer et voir ses camarades de guerre se faire tuer le pied à peine poser à terre!!!
Cette photo reflète bien ce qui s'est passé ce jour là!!!
Paix à ces hommes jeunes ou vieux qui ont donné leur vie pour libérer la France, bien des années plus tard, on les en remercie encore!!!
Amitiés
Odile
