Heh, definitely got marked down for the religious aspect - all those 1s, 2s, and 3s. But I think the overall score is a fair one; as people said, the background was a bit distracting. Anyway, great image, and one of my top picks for the challenge - thank you for sharing it with us.

Foreground is stunning! The background could have been more exciting, though.

Quite an emotive shot here. I imagine a wide range of comments & opinions are showing up on this one. Subject-wise it fits the challenge just fine for me. Photographically, the DOF works and it's well focused. The bg seam is a distraction that may have been eliminated with a seamless bg or a slight adjustment using curves. Nonetheless, good luck in the challenge.

strong, powerful, evocative.. it might get caned by a lot of voters, but its a great statement.

very dramatic image - you will likely get a great deal of harsh opinions for your choice of theme - but I will not be in that group - I think it is an excellent shot and fits the theme very well.

I think all you would have needed to make this any better would be to smooth out the BG so you can't see the line and add some blood to the stake.


Good luck with the challenge.

I understand your message here; however, the picture implies sacrifice and pain to me rather than Heaven. The Ascension, in my opinion, would have made a better subject than the crucifixion.

Wasn't that his palm, not the wrist don't know, maybe I know it wrong. Good idea, not so good execution :/

interesting interpretation. on a purely technical note, i think i would have preferred this in black and white; the colours are a little distracting from the forms.

i love the concept, i think a little more thought could have been put into your background. The plain white, which rendered a little green doesn't do it for me.

very interesting

ouch! nice accuracy with the nail in the wrist instead of the hand... most people would have missed that.

I'm not the most religious person, but this is a very powerful photo! Would also be neat with a landscape background of some sort.

The most emotionally evocative image in this challenge, I think -- great job.

Well done.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
