Hi Scott!

I think that you did the right thing when you have chosen B/W technique for this image. If we only remember what was going on behind that doors and what kind of hell those poor souls had to go through... I can't even write when I think of that. So much pain and sufferning and then we dare to say we are better than animals.

This is great shot. It gives you something to think about.

Well done.

Best regards, Stasa
