Artist's Comments

This is a award, the Iron Cross 1st Class of the German forces between 1939 and 1945. The Iron Cross was awarded for bravery in battle as well as other military contributions in a battlefield environment.
It's a ground relict and I have restored the Iron Cross as good as possible. You can hardly recognize the year 1939 in the bottom of the cross.

Disclaimer: This is a historical artefact and I disagree with the ideologies of Nazi Germany and other extremist groups.

...i disagree with the ideas and hate what they did to my country but we must live with the past and hope it does not shape the future... that being said, it is a great shot...

Very nice photo.

I think the tones are great.

Are you shooting in b/w or converting it from color?

Good stuff. :)

b&w looks really great on this one! Like you want to show that it's something from the past, not these days. And in the time these crosses were made, there was no color just b&w =P
Very good shot! :)
