I had considered doing a shot something like this for my black and white challenge. The scrubby background adds to the emotion (IMO). Flowers might have been a nice touch, but might have added too much color. 9 Swash

Comment by Kavey:
Good composition but lacking in contrast between cross and background. Background is a little bland.
I appreciate that perhaps this is about the negative space left behind by the person this cross commemorates. In my mind though the challenge is about visual not emotional negative space.

its really weird how there are so many cross pictures this week, when i don't think i have seen any previously other than on buildings in other challenges.

Comment by HBunch:
eerie. unfortunately we see too many of these. I like the "negative space" having the road in the background. The lighting is good, and the angle and framing are also good. this almost looks like a black and white, but I don't think it is. did you try it as black and white? Overall nice depiction of negative space. good luck in the challenge. ~hbunch7187~

Visual impact. Poor focus and a bit over exposed but I like the over all feel. Score 7 Justine
