Thank you all. I've enjoyed this shot more than any others I've done. I knew it wouldn't score well, but the message is powerful. As BHuseman has so eloquently stated, the subject need not be pleasant to be a good photograph. As far as religion goes, we make our own heaven, or we make our own hell. And we collect our rewards accordingly. As for me, I believe I'll have another beer.

Comment by BHuseman:
Here is another case in point where the voters of DPC just plain suck. There is no way this deserves to get the brown. I personally think it is the most creative image in the lot. You deserve credit for that. It is also well executed. This picture does not copy everyone else who took photos of someone acting like they were praying with a cross in their hands. Or some religious place where people worship. If youbelieve that being in this position is any less religious then being in a church and preying to god then you are dillusional!

Many people in this world have serious problems that lead them to this kind of situation. With that many of them ask for god. Why is that any different then fakes and phonies that go to church every Sunday thinking it will get them into heaven?

I commend you for this picture and wish it had scored better. I think the voters of DPC need to stick their righteous attitudes up their proverbial arse!!!

I can't believe someone said if they could give a negative score they would. Why do you feel that you are so superior to do such a thing. I bet you are one of the trolls that consistently votes low just because you are clueless! Yup, your average vote cast is a 5.1XXX. You are a fool!

This one is good too: nice....real nice....hope you didnt put too much effort into this disgusting shot /1
Just because a photo is disgusting it deserves a 1? I am sorry but not all photographs are of appealing subjects. Maybe you can share your rose colored glasses with everyone so they only photograph pleasant things in life.

why do I think this shot will be criticized a lot? still a funny take on the topic :-) (even though slighty vulgar)

While somewhat humorous, I feel that this is in poor taste for this challenge.

humorous? yes. disgusting? absolutely. but, a great photo it is not. the subject is too dark, the color is a bit off. composition is ok, but could have used a slightly tighter crop on right side. just my $.02
