Incredible composition. Absolutely beautiful. Love the way you were able to capture all the chisel strokes on the head. Wow.

Excellent tonal balance and detail! Only down side: what is this statue a function/part of? I guess it's not really a necessity.

Glad to see you in a challenge once in a while, John! I see you're still showing us how it is done! Super work. I like the use of light here with the cross so light against the dark background, and the dof really works well for me. Really nice.

Similar to my shot. Very crisply executed. Nice composition.

I like the concept here, but the shot just doesn't "feel" right to me. Enough of the shot is out of focus that it makes me feel as though my eyes can't focus properly. The glaring brightness of the cross, and the lightness of the stones near it make the shot feel somewhat unbalanced to me since the other side is so dark, and doesn't seem to add anything to the shot. Perhaps a tighter crop on the cross and the stones behind it would have more impact.

Great shot, and a nice take on the challenge! I especially like the subdued tones and feeling imparted by the desaturation and sepia tone. One point of distraction is that the headstones in the background are a bit out of focus-- rather than completely out of focus, or razor-sharp. Perhaps either a shallower or deeper DOF might have served the shot a bit better. --8
