    I like this Steve, loads of atmosphere. A little crop off the bottom seems, to me anyway, to focus your attention through the gate a little more, but it's your image !
    A shame about the cars but you have to take what's there.
    Thanks for sharing this.
    Alan.

          Hi briansquibb, yes HDR but toned down to the minimum.

              I think its a cracking shot.

              There will be times when you will be in the field without a camera. And, you will see the most glorious sunset or the most beautiful scene that you have ever witnessed. Don't be bitter because you can't record it. Sit down, drink it in, and enjoy it for what it is!

                    Hi Steve,

                    Very nice shot.

                    Very much off subject, but I would recommend anyone to go to the Menin Gate if you get the chance and experience the nightly service and playing of the Last Post by the Ypres Fire Department.

                    One of the most moving experiences of my life.

                    Steve, some great shots on your Website about the Western Front, Memorials, Cemeteries etc, I have visited most of them, it is just a most remarkable experience.

                    Paul

                      A suberb interpretation, handled with subtlety.

                      HDR as it should be.

                          Cheers Paul, thanks for your comments on this shot and the images on my site.

                          I tried to make this one slightly different to other shots of the Menin Gate/Last Post Ceremony at Ypres.

                          Thanks again, Steve.
