Holocaust

Comment:
I have been contemplating for a while now on how to comment on this shot. Overall I think it's a pretty good photograph. Obviously, it's a very emotional topic, especially for those with personal (or family) connection to the horror. But there is just something that bothers me about the picture - I guess when seeing a picture about this topic, I just expect a certain amount of "gravitas", and somehow except for the text, this picture doesn't really seem to carry the weight of the seriousness (at least for me). The two main things are the color selection - I think B&W would have been better - and the "feel" of the two legs. Somehow they seem too...."healthy" (if that makes any sense).

Beautiful shot - but I agree with Beetle. I think a simpler frame, maybe just a thin line would have worked better. The shot is absolutely amazing, though. Really great color composition, and the DOF is just right.
