Religion - one of the most destructive forces in the world

I admire your bravely (I am sure you get a lot of flame for your title) however I don't really agree with your title. However, theosophy aside, the image itself does not really communicate darkness or threat, IMO. The subject is too small, and the sky is rather bland. I can imagine that a cross can be shot in a scary manner, but it would have to be done quite differently.

nice photo, however I'd try to shoot this from above, to imply vertigo and certain suicidal mood. In fact, it has some of it anyway, but the title contradicts it...

Before the Storm

Comment:
it's a nice photo, but it does not leave a particularly dark feeling, and the strom can only be found in the title. You'd need some sky to transmit the feeling of storm, otherwise it just feels like a dusk.

Dark Lantern

great shot. I probably would pay attention to the lantern without the title, but now when i see it, it definitely adds to the appeal of the image.
