Comment by KarenNfld:
I like the silhouettes, the B&W treatment is very good, not dull or washed out. Not sure if the moon actually adds anything to the photo, I think the photo would be just as strong without it.

I like the shape of the cross and he second upright, but i'd have like a looser crop - and maybe without the moon, although this would cause titling problems.

Hey, Roz. I like this and I like the wire too! Adds a little chaos to the bold and structured. We all need a little chaos in our lives...
Well done!!

Comment by sevilduvarci:
i like the composition and nice b&w tones. i agree that the moon is a very nice touch to balance the greys in the sky.

Not bad, I think it needs to lose the ropes or whatever they are but I like it for the silhouette and the vignetting sort of frames it. I'd give it a 6.

Comment by bassbone:
roz - good effort - nice use of the moon to bring in some good contrast - the perspective and composition are pretty solid as well - especially the squiggly thing (rope). On the critique side- it seems a little dark to me - would have liked a little more detail in the image to emphasize the great tones you can get in b/w

Roz, well it would have got a six from me, so I think you are being harsh. Great application of rule of thrid with the 'arm' of the cross
Strangely I feel the moon actually slightly distracts as it seems a touch incongrous with the image (possibly worse because of its position in the image)

All this is in the opinion of someone who is very new to this game (and it appears to run contrary to what others have said), so please take it with a pinch of salt

This dark to my taste, or my monitors ad if it were in a challenge it would suffer variable-monitor-calibration-syndrome. Its probalby exactly how you wanted it however. You could increase the tonal range and see how it looks. What does the histogram look like? Are there any truw whites? The fence post in the shape of a cross makes a dramatic silouette and the (perhaps) barbed wire makes reference to the crown of thorns. I like the way the "cross" divides the image into four unequal parts, the junction on the rule of thirds point. This is a powerful image.

Comment by Retroesque:
Roz, very beautiful and ANZAC day springs to mind, possible because we've just experienced it.

Also the cross the christian faith use as their symbol.

Having said that I find the (?) a distraction. I feel it draws my eye to it, and I'd rather rest on the more prominant front cross post.

Looking forward to working alongside you again - I feel like working this challenge like a 'boot camp' - GRIN!
