I'm not quite sure what a "piss angel" is?
I do like all the "stuff" floating around it though.
Give is an embryonic look and feel. |

| okay... I get it... first picture I've come across without a tribute that I actually know who the tribute is to... |

| I admire your courage and creativity with this shot. I was amazed at the ruckus that your inspiration 'Piss Christ' raised. I am curious as to what your score will be. I give you a 10! |

| I don't understand your title. Unfortunately the image suffers from lack of interest which might be your potential downfall. |

| Part of the fun of the challenge is comparing the photos to the work of the photographers they're paying tribute to. I can't figure out who that would be in this case. I actually like this image as an abstract. DOF is interesting. Texture is interesting. Title diminishes the work, IMO. |

one of the few I've seen so far w/o the artist's name in the title - that can actually get away without the reference by name. Subject-wise, I have to say I'm not a fan of shots that focus primarily on figurines... I feel like it's kind of like taking a macro of a dollar bill. In this case, it's like a macro of a dollar bill in a jar of urine. (Were you faithful to your title?)
The original photo derived a lot of its power from its sanguine color and careful use of texture and light - not to mention that it's a crucifix with the hanging body of Christ in a jar of piss. No angel can equal the impact of the Son of God for impact in this context.
I wonder what you learned while making this picture.
Aside from those two points, one of which is definitely personal bias and the other of which may be needlessly comparative, I think this is a good picture. There's enough detail to hold interest - and a well-placed highlight on the halo - with enough obscured to create a sense of depth and mystery. The diffuse lighting through the liquid creates an eerie glowing effect around the figurine. It will be interesting to see how this one scores. |

| I found the original offensive...this is not much better...it is supposed to be a tribute to a photographer not an artist |

| I had no idea what this image was about until someone I was chatting with happened to mention Andres Serrano's "Piss Christ", so I looked it up. You just jumped from a 5 to an 8. It's an excellent tribute to the original, plus you got cojones even doing this in the first place. I'm sorry you didn't include the photog's name in your title, I think very few people are going to get this, though I may be wrong. |

| Who's the tribute to? This is a disturbing image and title, my first 1 |
