Artist's Comments
This is a pay book from a German soldier, who fought during the World War at the Western Front. On the left side is a Iron Cross 1914 2nd Class and the award with the ribbon is a Honor Cross for War Participants.
You see the reverse of the Iron Cross and the year "1813" is on the lower arm, symbolizing the first year the award was created. The Iron Cross was established by King Frederick William III of Prussia [link] and first awarded on 10 March 1813 in Breslau. Therefore the initials "FW" below the crown. The Honor Cross, also known as the Hindenburg Cross, was a commemorative medal inaugurated on July 13, 1934 by Reichspräsident Paul von Hindenburg [link] for those soldiers of Imperial Germany who fought in World War I. Comments I like this composition.
The information is great for understanding it all too. Good stuff.  --  Colombiana Donate your organs.. you could be the match I'm searching for.  Very nice shot. The focus is just amazing in this, every little detail shows.
-- "Riding is the art of keeping a horse between you and the ground."  that is very pretty. i like the black and white, it adds the lighting well. i cant really say that you did a bad job. maybe a frame or some sort of design on the side might work, but, other than that, i think its very good. mayhaps ill use it in my journal? it that okay? because, i want to put a thumbnail on it, and, this would be perfect ^^' you dont have to say yes though. im just wondering, i dont want to put it up when the person doesnt know about it.
 Nice work. Black & white is perfect for this. Thanks for the historical background too.
 The B&W shot creates a great atmosphere
 Amazing shot friend -- Want a free DA subscription? Check my journal! Help dA community, spread dA love!!!  Beautiful
-- "Why does everyone think Ill mess up just because I like to drive fast?" - Hotshot, Transformers: Cybertron Hidden by Owner  It looks good this way
But maybe you could've laid things on a piece of velvet or something? I dunno, maybe it looks better that way  The b&w really fits it though! -- It's not my fault I'm curious It's that thing's fault for being something I've never seen before * Bitchin'!  fascinating photo. One can almost smell historu trough it.
