Ah. This image. In the thread of which I linked to it from, the image becomes so much more powerful than when discovered under the Silhouettes challenge. Now with no pretext of the challenge, the image becomes powerful. The colors of the sky indicate a torment, but even in the shadows, the one important thing draws the eye to it and to the blue sky that it becomes a path to.
Composition: Cross is almost centered, losing a lot of artistic potential here.
Challenge: Yup, its a sil.
Concept: Could have had a lot more impact with a different crop and a sky that didn't come off looking like it had been harshly adjusted in PS.
Major Flaw: Lens smear/Sensor dust very close to subject.
I would have gone for a more of-center composition. The manner inwhich you manipulated the sky makes it look more like a paintaing than a photograph. It also looks like you have a dust spot on your sensor - there a greyish blob to the lower-right of the cross's right arm. I like how the cross is the only element of this shot.
That appears to be a very strong sunset you had to work with. I find myself wondering what would have happened if you showed more of the scene and kept the natural colors
I like the starkness of the composition and the redness. Very appropriate for an image of a powerful god. However, the title rather goes against this. The blue in the top right doesn't help much. 5
The background is beautiful and I love your message. I am wondering a little about the composiiton. I like the slanted angle of the cross, but wonder if it would have worked better if it had not been so centered. Perhaps over to the left with the expanse to the right? BOL
Obvious that most of the color is photographer generated, but it is a good effect and a nice image. You've done a good job. Because you have made the background so interesting through the use of color, I'd recommend moving the cross left to the 1st rule of thirds horizontal line for more dramatic photographic effect. The cross leaning inwards toward a bright center would have metaphoric significance as well.
