Love the composition. It appears that a slight gamma adjustment may help, but overall, the image is very pleasing with the cross as a beacon. Bumping up.

This is my second go-around =) - I really like your composition. The sky looks great! I only wish you could have brought out the blues more... I think it would have really added to your photograph. Otherwise, great job!

I am making two passes on this Challenge. I will vote on your photo then return later(before voting is over) to comment on what I like and dislike about your shot. You can take the comments however you wish and I will try not to be mean. Just don't take it the wrong way.

Nice work. The only thing I don't like is the buildings in the background.

Great compostion! The duck is a little too dark, in my opinion. I'd try a dodge and burn layer in PS to lighten him -- especially in the area of the eyes.

I like it a lot. Great way of using normal subject (duck) and dressing it up with color and surroundings. Grows on me more and more.
