Nice idea but maybe a little too dark?

I find this image a bit grainy for the subject at hand. IMPO I would only use a grain for an image that I want it to look rough, dirty, or something in that nature. I understand that some camera's just produce a ton of image grain (mine being one) but lighting really helps with that. Speaking of lighting, I see that you didn't have much light here. When you want some of your subject to look faded you should fade an entire side of the image so everything flows nicely.

I like the cross and the idea but there are just a few things that do not fit the image,
1 - The lighting
2 - The amount of room that is on the lower corner just below the cross. It looks like it is just too close to the image to look staged.
3 - The image Grain.
4 - The slight shadows at the top and the right of the image. Not really distracting like many say but it does stand out like a sore thumb.

Try using the color balance and levels adjustments when processing your images, It really helps and brings out a lot.

Good luck mate.

Ah, a minimalist.
What makes it "Orthodox" ?

good macro, interesting light capture, background could use a click of contrast perhaps (?)

nice image composition

If this involved a service or a church I could see it being directly related to a cultural event
