Too saturated... I don't see how this meets the challenge either.

great! You know what would have made this a REALLY great picture? a completely black background so that it looked like she had a hole in her head and the eye was just floating there...

incidentally, I think you were making a straw man argument when you said "a Jewish Woody with a yarmulka or Torah, a Muslim Woody with a beard and a Qur'an, a Native American Woody with feathers and a bud of peyote." in your original post. The woody in the picture wasn't wearing a christian cross, or the robes of a christian priest, or anything else that would say that the woody is a christian. Doing so IMO would imply that it WAS an attack on those people, (not that I'd want it censored or anything) but I think the way the photograph was set up implies that he was attacking the BELIEF (in prayer), and not the PEOPLE. That is a HUGE detail. It's one thing to attack a group of people, and a completely different thing to attack a specific belief.

OmanOtter, courage was ONE of the reasons I gave this a ten. Not the only one. Just like people give points for creativity whatnot, I think that the amount of courage it took is a perfectly fine way of rating a photograph.

about it being an attack... yes, I do think it WAS an attack- It was an attack on the power of prayer. I don't think it was an attack in christianity in general, the bible, or religion in general. Just prayer.

Something doesn't need to be an attack to require courage. Most people are very sensitive when it comes to religion, and something doesn't have to be an attack to offend people. For example, coming out as being homosexual (or an atheist for that matter) might offend many people, but it is not an attack and it takes courage.

I don't think the "same basic picture" wich used the torah or the koran or whatever would be hate speech either.

lost in thought...

The foot being so close doesn't really work IMO.
