Not Black & White Photo

Photographer’s Note

Going back to Berlin:

This memorial is located in the square of the new Reichstag building
It is a memorial to the 96 Reichstag members of left and center eliminated by the Nazis during the 30's and the 40's.

BTW: It's hard to see, but it is a color picture.

Very nice picture Itzhak! The patterns and rytmns of broken slabs are properly composed in your frame.

Good abstract result from your close study of this monument, Itzik. A rewarding array of shapes and rich textues, and an important historical connection to think about. Well done. Greetings from Barcelona (I just arrived, good that the hotel room has WLAN access ;).

Hi Yitzhak,
I was just going to point out your mistake when I noticed your BTW :) Are all memorials so bleak n grey? This image of yours has a very effective graphical touch which is why I was attracted in the first place. Well seen and well captured.
With greetings from India,
Sabyasachi

Hello Yizthak,

Many thanks for this one, I don't remember having seen this memorial near the Reichstag.
Almost abstract, and almost BW. The only thing I thought was " Does this
picture need more sharpness or is it good the way it is " ? I'll go for the second option with you.
Gives me a tip about posting pictures of Berlin too.

I wish you a very good week - Izzet

Hi Itzik,

This an "Yitzhak shot" like I have not seen in a long time. Good lines and strong composition in this photo. I think that you made the focus at just the right place.

have a good week,

Paul

Very nice sense of pattern again, Yitzhak! I love the erratic lines here, and the odd geometry. Well done!

Night of the long knives. Interesting shot of it and to keep in colour though black and white. Good reminder that even a system that looks like democracy can be manipulated in the wrong hands.

hi itzik,
i can imagine its a b/w work (i did a very similiar photo from kl treblinka here);
a spectacular image, very symbolic monument, simple but with a clear message,
good work,
best wishes, j.

Perfect shot Yitzhak, full of graphism and that is what i really like :)
Well done! Have a nice weekend

Nice abstract composition here Itzhak.. I really like your tone and POV as well. Once I read the descripton, obviously the photo took on a whole new meaning for me too. Well done. Regards, Doug
