[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a close-up picture of Baghdad's Saber Stadium Crossed Swords. This is a soccer (football) stadium. These are actually large enough to climb up inside of to the top of the swords. Thanks for checking my pics. See "philip" on Trekearth for my latest Iraq posting.

Great shot with backlight but all details are very clear, that's fantastic !
You're in a "strange position there" to get pictures, do you realize that, Phil !
Good shot !

Above our heads, and whatever happens to us, the sun shall remain... Great picture !

I enjoy shots that are "looking up" at the sky. I like the silhouette effect on the sword.

Wow Phil, as much as I liked the other shot of the swords, this is much better. Very well composed with the sunlight peeking out from behind the hand! Also, you taught me something here, I have seen these swords many times in the media, but never knew they were hollow inside that you could actually go into them. Really interesting...

Stay safe, God bless.

A great shot Phil,your composition is excellent.
I like the sun behind the hand and the dark contrasting against the blue sky.
A powerful image.
Very well done.
Keep up the good work.

Very interesting photo and composition, the shine is just on the right place. Very modern, and planed. I like soccer, I haven't seen iraqi one, but the brasil is more than sport, a kind of art!

Very interesting composition! Great shot Phil!
