Very powerful image. Your notes are well done and add volumes to the piece. The contrast between the ghostly green and orange inside gives the piece a lot of depth. To me it signifies the bomb internally causing devastation to the outside. Nice Job :)

    Thanks so much for your comments, much appreciated - and the excellent star rating thankyou.
Comment from Mitcham


A strong image that benefits from being taken at night.Should be a lot sharper but I suspect this was hand held.You say you have straightened it so I expect the angle it was taken from causes the apparent tilt.

Sorry re low stars,just found out how they work rating amended

    Thanks for your review. My husband said I should have used the side of building to straighten - I used the tower. Unfortunately I did not have a tripod, nowhere to rest camera and it was around -2 when taken so probably a bit shakey :)

I really like your notes. It is important to remember, because history has a sad habit of repeating itself. The green building is really vibrant and is really standing out from the dark background. It is however a bit soft and lacks sharpness. The angle of your shot is good. I think the composition is good and this is also well balanced.

Comment from Sam S


This is an interesting image of a green lit building. A memorial. Good focus and detail. Good story telling. The only problem I have with this image is that it is leaning to the right. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Kikaspics


Yeah not a piece of history anyone can be proud off. Its disgusting. The image on the other hand is great I love the green light! Is the building green or is it the light. Good clarity and dof. Thanks for sharing.

    Thanks for review, the building is green with the light, it is one of the few buildings which remained following the dropping of the ABomb which was detonated almost directly above the dome (the center of the blast was 490 feet (150 m) away and 1,968 feet (600 m) above ground)
