Another image of the autumn session in Auschwitz-Birkenau. This is

the forest where the victims wated for the free place in gas

chambers. Weird place, at it can really be so beautiful at this time

of the year...

Nice subject. I like the warm colors and the crossing shadows. As an enthusiast of "clean" compositions, (that is images that show exactly what you want to show and not a bit more) I would try to frame it a bit differently. To show the shadows and the autumn colors. I find the sun a bit distracting. Also the assymetry in the background - dark forest on the right side - is messing up the clarity and simplicity of the shot. I guess it was necessary to stand where you were to get the shadow lines so nicely running together. But have you tried to crop it differently? Maybe cut just below the sun and just over the green reflex? And adjust the sides so that the focus of the shadows lies near the golden ratio of the photos width? Sorry for this long elaborate. That was about how I would see the scene. But your photo definetely caught my attention! Cheers!

I like very much how you composed the scene Pawel, the streched backlight shadows and the tree trunk to the left make it for a good shadow distribution, and they contrast well with the redish light and leaf carpet

 

I like the compo as it is, maybe would remove the little flare on foreground, and correct the little right tilt of horizon, nice suggested title

 

Best regards and Seasons Greetings!

It could be a photo, a beautiful photo, taken quite somewhere else and there is something poignant when you know where it has been taken and that you think that the surroundings of Auschwitz could be so beautiful in the same time the death reigned in the concentration camp.

The colors are so warm and the sunrays through the trees so gentle, that one cannot even imagine what happened here... Sad and beautiful in the same time. Regards, S.
