 Did Jesus have a baby sister?
Was she bitter, was she sweet
Did she wind up in a convent?
Did she end up on the street?
On the run? On the stage? Did she dance?
Did Jesus have a sister, a little baby sister?
Did Jesus have a sister? Did they give her a chance?

And did she cry for Mary's comfort
As she watched Him on the cross
And was Mary too despairing
"Ask your brother, He's the boss
"He's the chief, He's the Man, He's the show."
Did Jesus have a sister, a little baby sister?
Did Jesus have a sister? Doesn't anyone know?

Tad confused, is it supposed to be a girl figure or a guy on the cross?

Understand your concept but I am afraid that it doesnt do it for me

Not that it is tasteless so much as it is unexciting. Good lighting though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/16/2007 10:18:10 PM
oooo... Very funny ... I get it... lighting is good ... IMHO less DOF would have worked also

Quality wise I'm not caring for it. I don't like the black edges, or how grainy it is. However, if that's what you were going for I'm sorry, I missed the idea. I guess I'm missing the idea of the pic as well, sorry, sometimes I think I should've been born a blond.

If you're going for the literal thing, I think the figurine should have been wearing a dress.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2007 06:20:59 PM
Hmmm.....could do with better lighting and focus.

  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2007 01:20:41 PM
oooohh would love to see the messages you get for this. Good idea, a little noisy though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2007 12:32:43 PM
the lighting is bad, the subject is sort of back and side lit. maybe turn the subject to the light a bit. also messing with relegious icons isn't cool with some people, there have been wars fought over religions. I don't expect this to be accepted by many voters.

I can't even imagine what kind of comments you're getting... I think it's brilliant - the concept, that is. The photo is not very good quality, unfortunately. Still, for sheer gutsiness 6.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I can imagine this offending quite a few people. I don't mind it personally, but on a purely photographic front the lighting isn't showing off the model and the angle and cropping doesn't present it at its best.

I'm sure you'll get criticism from the fundamentalists. Nothing artful about it. A doll wrapped in some hairy stuff does not an entry make. Sorry, but don't just enter something to enter. Props like dolls, stuffed animals, etc have a sense of desparation like "I have to enter but I don't have anything else to put in the shot." Hope this isn't harsh, but people want to know why their images score low, so I'm giving my opinion.

Not really sure what to say about this...

Hmmmm!! Nice fluff!
