Hope you undestand now that this was a plane accident.

It is staged, but I feel the same way as you do. Last year I made Serie about the accident.

I don't know how to write something into "Photographer's Comments" .

Thanks for your Votes. I am quite happy about my first TOP 10 at DP.

I was very late to get the picture done so I just took it quickly with my wife and the Selftimer. The cam was not the D200 (sold it) but the Fuji S5 PRO but the S5PRO was not yet in the camera list.

Great job capturing the mood, with good focus and exposure.

I LOVE the reflections in the memorial. I almost wish the embracing couple was crouching down so that those reflections were a larger part of the photo. B&W tones come out very well in this shot.

Very well done. I was thinking it was excellent handling of a reflection but further investigation shows it's plexiglass. The faceless emotion is very evident here. The shadows on the arms are unfortunate. Looking at the names, are you thearendts Jon Arendt? A little hint, don't PM me back now so you retain what anonymity you still have. 8

I'm so sorry, this must be Lufthansa Flight 2420 that crashed on November 6, 2002 along the TrĂªves Highway in Niederanven, just a few nautical miles short of Findel's Runway 24.

Very emotional picture, beautifully done. My choice for a ribbon.

Oh yikes, I hope your dad wasn't really the pilot? If so, I'm so sorry! Anyway, very moving capture.

very strong image, I like the use of lighting here and I really like the see through reflections of the memorial, also the top line of the memorial leads me into the faces of the two individuals. Real good use of lines. I think this will do well, good work. a small part of me feels like this is a bit set up but I am not voting anyways. even if set up it still is a good example of what the challenge wanted.

Excellent choice going black and white. The background and lighting enhances this image very much. Your subject matter shows emotion very well.
Top ten image!
