11 years after the bombing

[artemyura]

This shot was taken at the remains of the TV and Radio station in Novi Sad, Serbia in 2010, 11 years after the NATO bombing campaign. Browsing through the ruins i took some pictures of some things that were left there for over a decade since the bombing. Please tell me what you think. Is the depth of field too shallow? should i have made it so more of the book is in focus? Thanks.

I like that only a tiny bit of the picture is focused, I think that conveys the mood better. I think this shot would work a lot better with a more interesting background, something that better illustrates the state of the place. I understand that you probably didn't want to mess with the stuff there and had little choice on that.

Quite frankly, I like the shot just the way you took it. It has a desolate feel of yesteryear to it....dof is excellent

I overexposed the pages of the book (for more dynamic and emphasis) and added noise to the background. Then a 'Rule of Thirds' crop. Just my two cents.

I like your original photo. You have captured the mood perfectly. Great job!

WOW, A lot of meaning in this photo!

Do you have more to share?


I think the DOF could have been changed a bit, but still looks good.

Such a sad and grim reminder of how the world is and has been, in turmoil for many years now.

Such a powerful shot- I really like the point of view. Although I find the photo meaningless without the caption.
