Might have tried a tighter crop to make the egret more dominant in the photo. Perhaps take the lower third off to eliminate the white reflection on the water.

And this bird you cannot change. oh wait, that's Lynyrd Skynyrd. :) Nice capture! The only nitpick is the calm part of the water or where it looks like theres a bunch of ducks on the surface runs smack into the bird's neck.

Well I think you've taken the photograph well, with a clear knowledge of how to use your camera to achieve good results. The sky in particular is powerful and well captured to bring life and mood to the image. Your shutter speed of 1/80 was certainly a good call for that. I think as far as the image goes, it seems a little odd to have centred the tablets at the base of the photograph and then to have the crucifix off centre, a bit confusing as to the actual subject of the photo.

For such a great picture, it's a shame it didn't go further in this competition though. I think the only problem really was the relevance to the competition title. Your title I think is fine, and being an atheist I completely agree with it, but it looks as though if you covered up the title, there's nothing in the image itself that signifies a link to 'DPC Cinema'. Even movie posters these days tend to have colour, although I don't think this picture would have been quite so effective if it weren't in b&w.

Overall, I think that if the competition were a free study or possibly orientated around religion, this photo would have gone much further because it is a great photo.

Good luck with further competitions!

The sky is nice and I think the mood overall is great. I think for this title I would like to see a more beautiful crucifix and a less drab image. 7 for the great photo.

very moody. maybe a higher contrast would have given it a litte more pop to it, but this works well.
