This is one of the many monuments that honours the paratroopers who fought and fell in the battle for Arnhem (holland) in WW2. At the foot of the hill there,s a plaquette with the text "They shall mount up with wings as eagles".

I too like the tree in the photo. I would increase the contrast quite a bit without losing the foggy feel. With more contrast the tree elements becme more precise and contribute more to the composition. Bill

Thanks for your critique Bill. I will try your tip on the contrast, and see how it works out.

Hi, nice atmospheric mood you have captured with the fog in the background, but I find the tree interferes with the shot rather than adding to it. Maybe try a different angle to get the monument on its own. Also I find that it seems to slope to the right slightly. Rgds, Al

Thanks for your reply Al. To me the tree ads to the mood in this picture. I made several shots from different angles, and i liked this one the best :-) Thanks for taking the time too critique this one. Regards, Richard.
