Another good effort. Brings back memories and gives a sense of the past.
I like the framing you have added for detail.
Well done again.

I think that this may be the perfect entry. I do not believe anyone can see this and not be affected. In Wahington (?) there are a pile of recoved shoes..deep sad stuff, as is this. Donkeyoatey

Comment from Kaluphotography


This is a nice shot. The center of interest is very good and I wouldn't call it ugly.
It has history behind it.
Great story telling and very creative,the matt adds to this one. I usally don't like big matts
good luck Lou

Comment from Antipodean


Your photo is exactly right for any Journalism photography! Just the image of these cases has an impact far greater than many a more graphic picture. It makes one think & I'm sure that was your intention when you took the photo. The fact that it is shot through glass does not detract at all from the message portrayed.

I don't ever feel there could be too much of a reminder of what happened in WWII. That is what I like about your art. It is such a sad time in history and we all need to be reminded of the evil you mentioned. The focus is clear and crisp. I like the framing you used. The rest of the picture speaks for itself.

Comment from canon shooter


Yes it does tell a horrible story of one of the worst crimes in history. I remember visit this area, but did not see anything you described. Very good effect you added to the image.

Comment from xraytrish


This is definitely the ugly side of life! What a powerful image. Makes a person thankful for what we have. I don't know if the vignette around the edge was something you added or was an effect from shooting through glass. Nice effect though. Give a sense of a distant memory, but one that should never be forgotten.

    Thank you very much. I added matte to make the effect of looking into the past, or a distant memory as you put it.
Comment from Anne


I have seen one of these camps and it is amazing what they did to these people. You get such a strange feeling seeing all the things you described and to think that this is just one of the camps. I can't understand how another person could have inflicted so much on any one. This is an excellent picture. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Princess_Holly


this is amazing and a very very moving image. even before reading your description i wondered if it was something like a war camp. the frame really adds to the atmosphere of the image.
