Hi Erhan,
Good silhouette. It seems that some children are playing on the tank. A lovely composition with the war arms and the innocent children.
Best regards
Sayan

Hi Erhan!
Great Photo!! I like the title too.
But there's a note missing, that's very important
for us to understand what were the circumstances in wich you took yhis shot,
are you a photo reporter?...

Thanks, Sérgio

You've created beauty out of the ugly detritus of war here Erhan, and for that I congratulate you.
The sky makes a fine background and the kids playing on the tank are symbolic of a hopefully better future for the country and its people.
Powerful stuff, well done.

Belle image que de montrer ces silhouettes qu'on imagine être des enfants jouer sur un char de guerre.
Effrayant!

Yes... children like playing with such things... especially with real ones... sad but true...
Good documentary shot.

Hi Erhan,
Wonderful composition and subject which is close to everybody's heart. The irony of war which makes a mockery of human civilization comes out beautifully through the playfulness of the innocent children
and the killer tank.

Regards,
Soumik

Merhaba Erhan,
Tebrik ederim, o savaş ortamında oyuncağı bulamıyan çocukların tankın üzerindeki hallerini çok iyi yakalamışsın.Harika bir silüet çalışması, renkler de çok hoş.Ellerine sağlık. Selamlar...

Hi Erhan,

A very telling picture. Sure, I've seen kids climbing over tanks before, and I've even done it myself as a child - but in war museums. The context here is obviously quite different. On the technical side, the focus seems a little off, and I think the composition could have included more of the rear of the tank. But the colours are fantastic, and the feel is there.

Since I am a former combat-photographer over 3 decades ago, this picture strikes me completely. It is the same scene I used to witness every day during my 4 years working for the AP in Vietnam...
Could you please give me some details on the public transportation between Ankara to crossing border point and
how to enter Iraq from Turkey (immigration requirements).

Also, I learned that Marmara-Thrace region is the largest rice-growing area and makes the greatest contribution to production, followed by the Black Sea region. How would you advise me to map out the visit during harvest season?

Thanks,

Thanh
