standing bare

one last look at the Atomic Bomb Done in Hiroshima... i spent a bit of time contemplating this place in the evening and i though that the illuminated ruins looked very bare compared to the dark trees surrounding them... i tried to use the mono conversion to emphesise this stark contrast even further...

A magnificent and startling image DarkElf (I hope you take the adjective I used here in the intended way) Such a moving and frightening thought to remember these things..and it all comes down to war and hatred - who starts it - who ends it - who wins?? Nobody. Thank you for this and the previous ones. Your work continues to be the huge impression on my mind and in my soul...Bravo!

Stark is a good word to describe the impact of what happened there. Much to consider for the past and the future.

Wow this is magnificent - the b&w processing accentuates the architecture and all it stands for. 5*****

This is very effective and the whole rendering against the historical even is heartbreaking ..
