"Adults would literally fight each other to *force* anyone not thinking the same way to do so." Ouch. You live in a terrible world! Yes, people use religion as an excuse to impose their ideas onto others, but those are the "religious" people you hear about. And people use religion to make money too. This makes it seem as though politics and religion shouldn't mix. Religions of the world are generally peaceful and accepting of other people's views. There are the odd one or two which are violent, but that cannot characterize the majority of the major religions in the world.

In South Africa people use racism as an excuse to fight, never religion. I can't recall violent "religious" activity in my life here. Whatever is going to cause the biggest fight will be used as the reason to cause the fight. In the western world religion was used as that reason.

I like this. The only thing for me is the indicator and highlight headlamp are too bright.

I think a 6 is fairly good. But the world is going to end; you have blown out areas. Personally, I like the composition. Maybe for a photo like this, a portrait crop would work better, but I'm no expert to say. As far as story and emotion go, there isn't all that much, however it does leave room for some (again, in my personal view). I would probably have voted 6, maybe 7, depending on the time of day, the position of the moon, sunspots, etc.

I think the this would have been more effective if the cup was in focus and not the beans. But I love the composition!
