yeah i know the centuries of conflict there..it was getting to be religious war between protestant and catholic, then Britain steps in and have their lil Vietnam..it spilled over here in the 80s but there are too many other races and religions that it didnt get anywhere for support..we have a lot of irish in the major northern states. nice capture. the clarity is great. the angle of the shot of this artwork on the wall is great. the capture of the light is great. the presentation is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. good eye and great job overall.

A great shot of an example showing the tension of the times during the sixties and seventies, between the Northern and Southern Ireland and Gt Britain. I remember it well as I still lived in the UK at the time.

A very interesting and unique visual presented here. I wonder who the artist was. Composition shades, colors, and presentation is well done! Thank you for sharing

Very many thanks for your review! Left the car and lamp in to create more of a city atmosphere. Yes I think I do have more.

Strange are the ways the human mind works! This is an example that you have captured well. You framed it well, and the lighting, shadows, colours, and composition worked well. Good effort!

Nik,
A beautiful picture of the Mural in South Belfast with the Union Jack on the left & the Red hand of Ulster on the right with two fingers in black on either side. Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.

I like the and it is technically sound. Excellent story telling ability and good center of interest. Good impact. Lighting and exposure are well controlled. I found the background just a bit distracting.

Definitely a conversation piece for sure. While visiting Ireland last month, we had a very engaging taxi driver who told us the history about Ireland and England and how Northern Ireland is still under England's thumb. It was very interesting to see and hear. Great shot on your behalf.

Very many thanks for your nice review! I need to point out that the vast majority of people in Northern Ireland wish to remain in the United Kingdom and not Southern Ireland.
