thanks on your comment..
Wall has been shot up with shell in the war. Pic is taken in Osijek, Croatia.. and yes, war is ended here 10 years ago.. :-) it lasted from 1991 to 1993...

that sign means that you entering a street with no exit on the other side... on a croatian language we say something like "blind street"..

good

Love the barren dismal mood of this image. The Battered wall and cold snow contrast very well to the bright signage. Perfect composition, DOF and lighting. Good location shot that makes a statement

Are those really bullet holes?

Unusual pic. Maybe B&W would suit this one well. The colors of the sign are bright, but also distracting from what we are looking at (from the title). Well taken though - Inspzil

I really don't understand what the sign means. But the wall looks like it has been shot up more than once and by more than a pistol. Not know where this is taken I can't be sure. But you did a great job of photographing it: the holes in the concrete, plaster and concrete knocked off, small holes in the bricks, and a large area of the bricks blown away. Sure looks like a bad place to be sitting on a bench. Great details in the photo, and nice lighting. Focus and cropping real good. Good composition and real nice execution. It's a 9.

This is a great shot, very interesting wall behind and great use of title to tell a story. Perhaps colour saturation could be boosted a bit on the sign.

that's cool

The hammer and the damaged wall - good composition. Maybe more contrast would add some punch.

Great impact.....visually stunning shot. Great colors also.

I really love the background - it says so much. Colours and focus is great. You've also met the challenge theme quite easily. Well done - the best image I've viewed so far.

This is a good, interesting shot, but I think the border detracts from it. If you really wanted to use one, perhaps something a bit more subtle would have worked better.

what does the red and white bar indicate?

Nothing but grand! Nice composition, color, focus, and clarity! 9.. Cub
