Good Idea! I think the hand and cross could have used more focus.

Very grainy

I fail to understand the connection between the two philosophical/religious elements of the crucifix and the flag. Was this a particular ceremony or was it staged? If it was staged a little fill flash might have helped although the focus on the hand with a very shallow DOF is great effect. I don't like the drop shadow border selection especially with the single line border around the whole image.

Beautiful photo but i don't understand the message.

To me this is the most powerful photo in this challenge, the soft focus is great for this, the colors are very nice and the composition is top notch...10

Good composition, and the overall blurriness gives a reflective mood.

Your image is 489 pixels on the long side. When you save the image, save it at 72 dpi and 640 pixel on the long side. This will give us a better view of your details. The image overall is powerful in it's statement. Good lighting and composition. I wouldn't mind seeing more of the hand. 8 -danny

Strong Message!

I don't like the border here... in my opinion, it could better without it...

A strong image with a nice abstract touch whilst retaining the recognition factor. To me the message is anti war - I'll be interested to know what message was intended. The image quality seems a little grainy.

A drop shadow border may look OK on a white page, but against the DPC grey it doesnt look right.
