Our Lady of the Shadows

Originally posted by AbeSapien2: A white church, the quintessential symbol of organised Religion with the shadow of the older Tree of Life, indicative of quite another and older Celtic Natural religion, towering over it is a telling juxtaposition and a statement with much more between the lines than would first appear in a casual look at this. A favourite in this challenge to me - The chimney and the structure bear many straight lines, the Tree is curved and bends with the changing winds.

many thanks for taking the time for your comments here.

my apologies, after searching out mister price's website, I must have confused him for another person here. I do think the topic should be discussed.

Originally posted by Dirt_Diver: This is an awesome shot but the details say, Details: Photograph someone or something that can represent the spirit of a country creatively. For example, it is a stereotype using an eagle as a symbol of USA. However, challengers could photograph something else to represent the spirit of USA instead of an eagle. This is a nail bitter. It's a really crisp shot but the fact that it says don't photograph an eagle makes me not want to give it a high score. Ughhh I'll have to vote on the whole challenge and come back to this one.

so why such a high finish? guess nobody read the damn rules this time around. super cliche shot.

his "statement" is spot on the challenge, IMO. the greed is good immorality ran into the perfect storm of a willfully ignorant populace that worships militarism. guess what? we cant afford empire now. time to see if perhaps our values are askew; time to see if our citizens might needs some of these bucks instead of the arms merchants and the other war profiteers. but I digress. great job of smacking the challenge theme over the head!
