Hallo Frieda,

Heel fraaie plaat vanuit een prima standpunt gemaakt.
Mooi contrast tussen het groene veld met de witte kruizen en de donkere lucht erboven.
Mooie compositie.
Goed dat je zo'n foto plaatst in deze tijd van het jaar.

Groet uit Schouwen,
Adri

Hi Frieda,
A nice composition with these crosses wonderfully lighted taking in consideration the heavy grey clouds!
The two well lighted trees are giving impact to the perspective.
A well seen subject wisely presented!
Well done.
Regards.

hello frieda!

Nice shot, the lighting must have not been to good due to the clouds, but you still got a very nice and clear shot !

..... for ever.
Just simply great photography.

Hi Frieda,
the grey sky and the white crosses together with the well-lit trees and the very green grass - well seen and presented.
The sky reminds us of what those soldiers did for freedom.
A sad theme, but a good image.
Thanks for sharing.
Kindest regards, Britta

hi Frieda,
the contrast between the dark cloudy sky and the white crosses is excellent, it puts the accent on the main subject of the composition and enhances the graphic placement of the crosses in the perspective of the foreground area.

Mooi genomen Frieda,
Ondanks de dreigende lucht ligt het accent toch op de witte kruisen mede ook door je standpunt.

Geweldig.... die indrukwekkende, dreigende lucht boven zo'n indrukwekkende plek.
Om stil van te worden.........

Hello Frieda
I am impressed with this image - perfectly composed. You show the curves of the crosses so well, and the stormy sky is more emphasised because of the white crosses.
And don't those 2 large trees stand out well too?
Thank you for sharing
Janice

Hoi Frieda,
Je hebt het moment mooi uitgezocht: een stemmige zwarte lucht er boven. Die kruisjes komen er erg mooi uit zo. Goed belicht, en er zijn zelfs nog schaduwen te zien.
Mooie plaat.
Joop!

Great great photo! Ambiance at top. A true lacework for life.

Hallo Frieda,
Mooie foto van het Amerikaans kerkhof in Margraten.
Veel symboliek in je compositie: de ophelderende witte kruisen (van de 'helden', helaas gesneuveld) en de sterk contrasterende donkere wolken/lucht (dood).
Een plaats om eerbiedig en in stilte a.h.w. door de geschiedenis te lopen en ons nog eens te bezinnen.
Groet,
Henri

bonsoir frieda,

Trés belle composition et jolie couleur.
Sa me fait penser qu'il y a un prés de chez moi.
Celui de la bataille des ardennes, effectivement on se rapelle et on n'oublie pas.

Hallo Frieda,
sehr schönes Foto. Die Wetter-Stimmung ist wirklich toll - auch wenn es ein bedrückender Ort ist. Wir müssen uns immer wieder vor Augen führen, dass Kriege sinnlos sind und nur Leid bedeuten.
Grüße
Sebastian

Welcome Frieda,
photo very important. We should remember the tragic times in our nations history. White crosses, beautiful greenery and steel sky. This is a very strong.
Best regards - Slawek

Bonjour Frida.
Une image très forte qui soulève quelques souvenirs.
Le contraste entre les couleurs claires et le ciel foncé augmente cette impression dramatique.
Le cadrage à ras le sol est aussi une bonne idée pour accentuer cet effet.
Bonne journée.
Urs
