REMEMBRANCE DAY

The Remembrance Day is being observed in the Commonwealth on 11 Nov each year. It also signifies the signing for peace and the "cease fire" at the end of WW I at 11 hrs, 11 mts, 11 Secs on11 Nov 1918.

The soldiers always respect the departed, irrespective of their nationality or for the cause for which they gave their lives.

 

I salute the brave hearts.

The memorial of the Unknown Soldier is established in most towns and cities of the world.

The Brave Hearts who have lain down their lives for their Country and Colleagues will always be remembered for ages to come.This memorial in Puducherry is a well known monument on the sea side which has been very ably captured by you in all its true somber ambiance.

Very nice composition/pov and tones. compliments -koushik

Very successful presentation of the imposing monument……..

Excellent light treatment (the shadow enriches the image) and nice right side composition…..

The sepia like effect is a wise choice for this subject…..my congrats.

 

Very good exposure and light...Thnx for your description about the shot.

 

Actually,these shots are full of memory(good and bad memories)...But the most important things are the people,who remember them and thought about that moments!...The generations changed but the world stable yet!

 

Have a great time and thnx for sharing...Regards(Bobby).

Excellent and quite interesting composition, Amal. I like the shadow and the tones. Thanks for sharing. Regards

Magnifica toma y documento,con una excelente luz y monocromo.

 

Un cordial saludo -Tolo.

what makes it strong is the shadow, like a soul of the dead participating in the memorial.Well composed . lighted and timing. Fitting as well is the color pulette.

A very sombre,deep, and poignant reminder to all, about those who matter most,an dleave behind, indelible footsteps. You have truly captured the essence of the memorial. Very touching.

Interesting perspective. Good work.Regards

Nice capture ,, Beautiful composition ,, Great tons .............................. Regards

"Cease fire." What a beautiful phrase. I like the shadow behind the statue.

Very nice work, Amal!

Thank you very much for your appreciation , dear friends. It is the shadow that attracted me.Like Pnina, I felt the defeat and retreat of Death.

Today is 11th November, the Remembrance Day. Here is a coloured version of the Memorial at Pondicherry.

Lovely perspective and the croped version. Really nice work. All the best. Rgds.

A thought-provoking documentary of the solemnity and price of war. The shadow has a "grim reaper" look to it which is quite fitting. Thank you for sharing and making us remember.Regards, ~~~~~~~~~~L

Kaushik, many thanks for your feedback.

 

Linda, thank you very much,indeed.

Very nice shot,like the color and composition of this.I will soon be spending a couple of months back in India and looking forward to it.

Birte, thank you very much for your feedback. You are most welcome.

Amalda, this is definitely one of your better photos recently. Good sepia treatment. It oozes plenty of mood. I like the comparison to the Grim Reaper...I think the shadow has that feel to it. I would have liked this to have a little more contrast so that the shadows are accentuated.

Samrat, many thanks for your feedback & suggestion. Is this acceptable to you.

Beautiful presentation, as someone has mentioned, the shadow is like the soul, ever present after death...Kind Regards.....Keith
