I wanted to do something with a religious symbol. Considering the Christian cross is quite straightforward, the Pentagram was the easiest one to draw, so I went with Satanism.
Models: Ed Bracher and Gary Sellick. (It was quite hard for one single person to get the hands like that without having the head in the shot, hence two people.)

I feel this comment is the sum of my feelings -

Here's a quote of yours - 'the Pentagram was the easiest one to draw' - it's a Pentacle - NOT a Pentagram.

Ok, here's a comment about the photo alone disregarding the subject matter. It's not bad I would have given it a 7 had I voted in this challenge. Blue Moon is right about 'painting with light' however, my personal feeling is it's not cool. Adding to jprhea25's comment - if you would have inverted the Pentacle, then it would have represented the titles implications - Satanism. The Pentacle is not an anti-christian symbol. It is a symbol for Earth-based 'religions'. It is a symbol I wear. Your photo did well in the challenge - another testament that people in general are mostly gazers.

Once, somebody made a comment to one of my photos that the title was offensive. Just to let you know, I don't find your photo/title offensive - just misrepresentive. To bad it's now forever carved in stone in the DPC records. Please, be more careful next time and Brightest Blessings to you.

Met the challenge. Hand on the right a tad overexposed and not sure what's going on in the upper left, but it's distracting.

Laid out well with the bonus of the flashlight writing.

Now that the challenge is over, I've left what I hope is a more-or-less somewhat 'helpful' comment above...Oh, another thought I had: the challenge was 'Religion'. Your photo implied 'Anti-Religion' yes? Again, lucky you people did not see it as DNMC like so many other (including mine for the most part) photos turned out to be according to the voters.
