 The Auswitz monument in Amsterdam, has to remind us of the millions of jewish people that got killed during the second world war. The ashes of tenthousands of them are buried under that very spot. Never again may the sky be reflected unshattered on that spot, that's the message of the broken mirrors. Neo-nazis who frequently damage the monument don't seem to realise that by shattering the mirrors even more, they only increase the harmed reflection of the sky, and thus their own shame and disgrace.

It's difficult to see in this picture that is has been dammaged, maybe if you would have taken it from a different angle...

It's a nice rendering of a black and white scene for a possible news story. The image does make one wonder why this type activity takes place. You may need to hire a better proof reader, as I think you mean "Auschwitz".

Good picture. Background is a little dark for my tastes but the composition, clarity and subject is a all very good.

It's actually spelled "Auschwitz", it's written on the sign :)

This one would have looked better in color. Otherwise nice entry.

I know you couldn't have defaced this monument but I think this photo would have been a lot more powerful if some hint of graffiti could be seen - know what I mean? Good concept.

I'm hoping your headline was made up. Very unfortunate if not. Technical : good - very good. Headline : good. 8

Good composition and contrast. Might have been better to get actual grafitti/damage befor or at start of clean-up. Unless this is a normal cleaning and there was no damage.
