Jacob's Ladder

I really like the way my eye is drawn into the picture. Very effective use of black & white. Not sure I'd equate a church with heaven, and he doesn't look much like an angel. But, it was a dream, after all; wasn't it?

If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them gets lost, what will he do?

I really like this. The find-a-sheep "game" adds emphasis to it being lost, and the good shepherd having to put an effort into looking for it. But, the monochrome picture, with branches and tree trunks going everywhere also convey the lostness. Very nicely done.

Nice, simple concept. Poor confused plant - winter? spring?

Nice concept, well executed. Great color in the sunrise, and nice constrast against the ground, which is lit just enough by the lightening sky.

Rebel

Not sure this is historically accurate, but it is a powerful image anyhow. Yes, Jesus was a rebel against the religious leaders, but a staunch conservative on the Mosaic law. An interesting combination, without a doubt. Great use of the leather jacket, nail wounds, halo, and angels faintly in the corners.

Masterfully done. Love the interaction of light and dark (but not too dark). Love the "wind" in angel's hair & dress. Interesting that while tradition has angels as women, the angels in the Bible all appeared to be men. Great job on Jacob's costume too - even though his whites look a bit too white, it is potential allegory for righteous, so it gets a pass regardless. Nice shot.

Salome Receiving the Head of John the Baptist

I really like your use of light vs. darkness in this shot. Harsh shadows. Bright, almost too hot light. I also like the expression on Salome's face - it shows she really isn't into this "present", even though she asked for it.

First up for me. Great image - love the "wee bit wild" look, muscled arm in the foreground. Picky - I think he used a donkey's jawbone, not a leg or arm bone. Still cool.

Wow! Really subtle, but once you spot him, he is unmistakable! Great image.

Very nice focus, detail, texture, and color. Creative arrangement adds to the shot.
