Ruνnas sγo sempre fotogκnicas, muitas vezes certos edifνcios sγo mais belos em ruνnas do que o foram quando perfeitos. Acho que ι a vivκncia da destruiηγo e a sobrevivκncia ΰ ela que dα ΰs ruνnas uma aura mνstica, de algo que tenta ser eterno apesar de tudo. Esta foto apresenta muito bem os efeitos terrνveis de uma guerra. Acho que o detalhe poderia ser melhor explorado ou que o edifνcio poderia ter ficado um pouco mais ao fundo, se ι que isso seria possνvel.

Hi Nelson,
The destruction of this place is terrible, and your photo captures it really well. The use of black and white is a good choice, and the people in your photo add extra interest.
Regards
Wanda

Grande essa sua fotografia, Nelson.
A apresentaηγo em preto e branco torna mais forte o que vocκ documentou: As perdas que todos sofremos com qualquer guerra.
Excelente trabalho.

This is an amazing shot Nelson! The composition is great and so is your choice of B&W. Although the picture seems to "lean" towards left, (i don't know if it was your intention)it doesn't bother me at all. On the contrary I think it helps to create this "disaster" atmosphere. Congratulations!
Best regards,
Hercules

Apesar de retratar a destruiηγo, consegue transmitir exactamente o peso que ela deixa ficar, atravιs das suas ruνnas... o que de facto impressiona aqui ι a constataηγo da indiferenηa/resignaηγo de quem passa/vive ao lado dessa destruiηγo.

obviously the subjct matter of the photo is tragic and sheds light onto the tragedy of war torn countries. the building seams to become almost skeleton like, as if now that it has lost its roof and windows it has no more hope. the people that walk past are effective in showing the viewer that they must get on with daily life as this is just another victim of war.

Ola Nelson ?
O que dizer sobre esta foto ? A guerra θ algo de terrivel. Veijo essa crianηa a esquerda que tao nova, jΰ passou por momentos dramaticos que muitos de nos nunca conhecemos. Mas a vida continua assim como essas pessoas caminhando, mostrando que a vida esta presente e que ira vencer as atrocidades do mundo. O preto e branco θ perfeito aqui, como tambem o facto da foto nao estar horizontal mas sim caindo, tal como o edificio.
Um abraηo.

Hi Nelson
War is soon forgotten and those left to pick up the pieces are so often left to do it alone. This black and white image is striking in its simplicity. I really like the choice to include the people who have scale to how big this building is. Or was add the case may be.
Best wishes
Noel
