 I have been reading this book to understand what my people went through during the Second World War. My grandmother has stories upon stories about that time and I thought this would be a great composition. Its hard to find books on Poles in the WW2, although Poles were pretty much involved in every battle/situation in the World War, their efforts go unoticed in the Wester World. Its really a shame.

On to the picture.

Nicely done. The words made a whole lot of difference in conveying the message in the photo.

This seems too close for my taste. Perhaps a slightly wider angle would have helped.

Nice concept, the black and white is nice, the composition is good, and the point is clear, I like it!

Good idea, I am unsure about the book though. While the title portrays the meaning I would have preferred something else (maybe a photo album) to record this. I love the composition though.

Emotional - I like the aged look of the book. The sky detracts a bit as it is so white.
