Thanks all! Those that pointed to the red rosary clashing with the flowers were dead on right... I never noticed and this has sat in my house for 5 years now :)

What I was aiming for with this was the whole "light in the darkness" thing and Jesus being referred to (by Christians) as the "Light of the World"... Thus the darkness = negative space that will be "filled"... Yeah, I know, it didn't quite get there... I considered two possible reshoots....

1 ~ A bright spot light beam coming from the upper right hand side, or...
2 ~ A small cross in the upper right...

Not sure if they would have helped

Just a thought here... I think if you had cropped the bottom tighter to eliminate the curb (or is it a fence?) it would have improved this shot tremendously... But that's just me :) Nice work

Cropping out the people at the bottom and adding more sky would have given me a better sense of negative space. Nice sharp focus on the flag :)

A closer crop without the tree above and less ground below would have conveyed negative space better to me. Nice catch :)

There might be some kind of 'high art' thing happening here, but I don't see it. The composition is strained at best, and the lighting seems very strange. The subject matter is also just plain confussing. What is this suppose to be a picture of?
