Pretty much looks like you know what you are doing. Fantastic dio. Everything compressed in a small vignette. Impressive.

Thanks everybody for the likes, comments and compliments
@Spanjaard. Thanks for noticing. Took me 3 weeks to get the composition right and to make it interesting regardless from which angle you view it
@Simon Nagorsnik. Thanks for the compliments. There is always something to criticise. Nothing is perfect. Although I have to say that in this instance my work came pretty close to being without mistakes
@Neuling creepy is what I was aiming for. If you look at the pictures and footage from that war you'll see that it was really a creepy place to be. If the enemy did not try to kill you then the soil certainly could in many ways. Even to this day if you visit the area you'll feel something really big has happened there.
Thanks @moritz Fentzahn for the compliments. This has been a piece that has been accepted very well everywhere
@Alex Rodionov. Thanks a lot for the compliments.
@Michael Kohl. I life in a very small house and I only have 1 display cabinet. Which learned me to master the art of the small story. Rarely my work is bigger then 25x25cm. But as you can see you can fit a world on that
