guillelobera 0 Posted November 22, 2006 Located between the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial onthe Mall in Washington, the dramatic Vietnam Veterans Memorial wasdedicated in November 1982. The privately financed monument wasofficially accepted by Ronald Reagan on Nov. 11, 1984, when he signeda document transferring the memorial to the U.S. Park Service. TheV-shaped memorial (the Wall) consists of two 250-ft walls of polishedblack granite sloping to the ground from an apex of 10 feet. The wallsare inscribed with the names of the more than 58000 USA men and womenwho were killed or missing in the Vietnam War. Privately fundedthrough the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund headed by Jan Scruggs, thememorial was designed by Maya Ying Lin, a Yale architecture studentwhose design was chosen over 1421 others submitted in the publiccompetition. To ease a controversy aroused by the nontraditionalappearance of the memorial, a sculpture of three servicemen and a flagwere placed off to the side. With the desire of Peace in Iraq and ofwhich other military memorials are not necessary in the future! Link to comment

davenwar 0 Posted November 22, 2006 Me encanta la composicion y la luz. Tormenton al fondo y luz en la escena y el capitolio. Pero lo que me parece genial es que no salga el reflejo de la mujer asiatica. Link to comment

jesus pizarro1 0 Posted November 23, 2006 Muy buena imagen con una composicion muy elaborada, gran profundidad de campo con el punto de fuga en el centro de la imagen, lo que potencia el tama�o de un monumento que nunca deberia de haber existido. Gran idea la incorporacion de la figura de la se�ora oriental de primer plano. Gran trabajo. Link to comment
federomero 0 Posted November 23, 2006 Todo perfecto y casi todo dicho. Que envidia de colores. El monolito en su punto. Link to comment
rafatorcida 0 Posted November 23, 2006 Chula, muy chula. La asiatica es la que hace que la foto funcione, junto con ese obelisco del fondo.... lo unico mejorable para mi gusto.... las letras del marco...... demasiado simples, grandes y cursivas.... :P muy buena. Link to comment
vincetylor 0 Posted November 24, 2006 I've been here many times. This is well composed along with a dramatic looking sky. My question is; why are the clouds reflecting on the wall WHITE, while the sky itself is dark and gray? Obviously the sky in this image is not natural. You should fix the clouds reflecting on the wall, to match what you have done to the sky for this to really work. Other that that, a nice photograph here. Link to comment
bel 0 Posted November 24, 2006 Tenias una luz preciosa y supiste aprovecharla. La composicion perfecta. Saludos Link to comment
street photography karina 0 Posted November 27, 2006 It makes you think... very good angle and mood! Link to comment
pepa_de_rivera1 0 Posted November 27, 2006 La perspectiva, el juego de lineas, el reflejo, esa luz tan bonita, la encuentro perfecta. Me da una sensacion limpia, lineal, con la mujer del primer plano haciendo de contrapunto, solo hay una cosa que veo rara que es el perfil de los arboles que parece como recortado. Link to comment
juan-de-santa-anna 0 Posted November 27, 2006 This is simply the best image of this memorial I have ever seen...the souls of those remembered are reflected in the wall and in the souls that remember....Awesome. Juan Link to comment
