They all got killed for somebody's better life!

A great composition with the better life in the background. cheers, hans

They all did, long time ago. The contrast between two houses, one new and the other one that should be at least as old as the monument adds to the dramatic feeling. Even the clouds add that ominous pressure to the stone figures. They will stand and withstand. With respect ....

Hi Pierre: i like the dramatic lighting and the composition of this image. Kind regards!

Very interesting perspective and mood. Best wishes, Olaf

Agreed with all the above.  You are the best.  Best Regards,

The light, the mood and the dominating cloudy sky. Makes you think.

All the best

Fantastic !

Grande idea e splendida fattura: il B/W è azzeccatissimo!

. . . . . . . . . . .  but, not for they relatives and friends. As always, wars  are for the rich and powerful, to get them even richer. Blood is sweet for them. Excellent title and a good b&w image.

Cheers,

Bela

My immediate thoughts are of the sky reflecting the mood of the actions. There is a sense of turmoil within the clouds and within the men. The home in the background seems to tell of their efforts to defend the home and lives of others. The courage in their faces and actions tell me they are fearless in their battle. The sadness in their expressions tell of the loss they are feeling for others as well as themselves as their determination is being robbed from them as they are killed defending all that is important to others as well as themselves. It's a powerful composition that will at least make their efforts live forever even if they could not. It's a grand tribute!
