About the Image(s)
This moving memorial by sculptors Gyula and Can Togay in 2005, and compromises 60 pairs of iron shows lined up at the edge of the Pest ( Budapest )embankment just south of the Hungarian Parliament building. The site had been used as a place of execution by fasciost Arrow Cross militiamen, who shot hundreds of Jews here in 1944-1945

Ah, the shoes. A compelling scene when viewed directly. The emotional impact is telling as to the story behind the shoes. Your image captures that story and converting it to black-and-white adds to the impact. A great image for street photography which is one of your photographic passions. In fact, it would also be a good human interest work for PJD, as it meets all the guidelines for that. The image itself shows good depth of field as everything is. clear along the embankment. The embankment itself is a leading line that draws attention to the line-up of shoes. Well done! Posted: 10/01/2025 18:12:38
