Angel of Hope

Today I was so heavy in heart .. like a massive weight. A break in the joy and thanksgiving I have at this time of year .. to pray for my friends that have lost a child. I lost my dad a couple months back .. but I would imagine nothing compares to the loss of a child :(, and especially near Christmas. But as I prayed, I was looking to put a pic on facebook to go with a prayer. A prayer that sat heavy with no words .. only knowing that God would do what I couldn't put words for .. and comfort a heart in a way I could only dream of. So I sat in front of Google "Image" , as I often do .. looking for a pic that would capture attention to go with teh prayer. And usually I can spent a great deal of time typing in word after word that might spark what I am feeling, and am image to relate it. NOT TODAY. I prayed and put in angel of hope .. cause I wanted the spirit of hope to be imparted to my friends that I love so dearly .. and this photo jumped out! IT'S WONDERFUL. I know nothing of this site, I cant even find the photographers name? yup, I'm an idiot :/ .. but I wanted to say that I thought it's very nice, adn that I'm sitting here weeping becasue it came IMMEDIATELY .. which is impossible with how large the internet is!!!!!!! God touched my heart today, while lifting up others .. and thru your picture it was made manifest to my heart. Merry Christmas to you and yours. Wish I could see this momument in person

An out of focus plaque does not define the spirit of any country. Sorry, Huge DNMC IMO.

The entire picture lacks sharpness in my opinion. The collors are cool but don't cause impact or fell of rainbow. 4.

Excellent subject and meets the challenge well. A few critiques would be it's a little out of focus, and the crop is a little tight on the plaque on the left side. Otherwise, the colors are great!

not voting....if this were more in focus it would be awesome, its still good but needed to think more about the composition, what's the location on this??

Comment by citymars:
Though heavily saturated, and despite the fact that I can find examples of the R-O-G-B-Y-P spectrum if I search, I don't see enough real variance in color for me to credit this as a "rainbow" of colors. Hazy, blown out sky is also a detraction.

Good idea. Focusing looks a bit soft.
