Hi TL friends,

I take this image in Berlin in 2006. The place is the Holocaust Memorial, very heartbreaking place.

HI Romeu
The monument loooks huge but in reality it is very little to compensate for all those lost lives. Very good composition, monochrome suits the mood of all this symmetry giving it a very cold look.

Belo tiro, e imagem de bonita perspectiva.
As linhas e traçado são fortes.
perfeita para o lugar, o Memorial!
Voce trabalhou bem com o b/w, eu gosto pois o cinza
é um pouco dor e sofrimento. Interessante os blocos.
É tão triste, mas de grande impacto!
Parabens my friend....

Good subject and POV. I like how you captured the light on the tops of the stark forms. The heaviness and the grayness add to the impression of heartbreak. A powerful message and image. Well done:)

Dear Romeu.
Finally!!! You need to post more pictures!
Very nice and well composed picture
THe theme is also very important to all of us.
Well done
Cheers

Hello, Romeu -
This is an interesting and captivating image. The graphic shapes and lines intersect to create a wonderful 3-dimensional effect, and the subtle lights and shadows compliment the effect. Great composition, well seen and presented.

Hi Romeu,
great shot, lovely abstract image.
Cheers, John.

Hi adastro

Well composed, with effective tight framing. Perhaps a bit more contrast? Good graphism & repetition of geometric patterns. Tfs!

Hello Romeu,
It's an artistic interpretation and isolation of the Holocaust Memorial. Superb graphism and lines. Greetings! Danilo

Hi Adastro,
Wonderful,meaningful shot....
Great graphism and perfect details.

una imagen muy peculiar y sensibilidad de perspectiva te felicito

Yes, very very sad Romeu. When I first saw this image, my first thought was "somber." Now that I've read the caption, I see why.

This is almost "cubism", Adastro ☺^☺.
I like the geometrical shapes, enhanced by the light on them. I saw some pics of the memorial on te & tl, this one is among the more original, definitely.

to tell you the truth Romeu i don't know how to comment image like this.. :) all i can see are lots of concrete pillars like a gravestones that abstract like.. beautiful? not really in my eyes.. sorry maybe im not artistic enough.. hehehe..

but to remember the past history victims that were murdered yes.. very heart wrenching and maybe go there and see it for myself probably would make me cry..

you should put more on the note.. :D tfs..

regards, terry

Good job
Congratulations

Ciao, Cinzia

Hi Romeu,

Indeed I have seen it on television so I recognised it immediately.
Yes the effect of seeing this can last for days - like with those chapel walls in Prague.

Very strong composition.

Big concrete blocks... as our thoughts should be when thinking to Holocaust...
Impressive and strong picture.

Bonjour Romeu,

Travail très difficile mais joliment rendu!
Jeux d'ombre et de lumière sur les monuments créant des lignes très artistiques et très épurées!
Sans créer de grosses masses de béton!
Travail intéressant sur le plan cubique
Toutes mes amitiés
Odile

thanks for keeping awareness high! beautiful shot by the way!!!

Hi Romeu,
very graphic and a poignant reminder of the Holocaust as are the numerous death camps memorials around Central Europe. Neither has ever failed to impress me in what it is meant for....
TFS ,
My best regards,
Carol
a tad more contrast would benefit this scene i think , still goes to the point though !

hi amigo,

abraco for this photo.... it is for me a politikal statement.. and I like it.... fine to know be not allone!!!!

hi Romeu,

isn't it funny - I have take almost the exact same picture with my Leica, from the same perspective...
I also found this place impressive and sad at the same time - in a way it's a good thing the Germans keep remembering their past mistakes, on the other hand there's no amount of concrete or stone that can teach new generations to respect diversity.
