You use different colors than I would choose. Photo wise it is technically good - clear, good cropping even though closer than I like personally, very representative for your culture. Could be from a text book. Definite 9 technically
This is a good shot for this challenge. This shot has a lot of potential! Personally, I feel that the background (everything outside of the drop) is somewhat distracting. Perhaps a tight vertical crop would have worked well. Or maybe shooting from closer, concentrating on the cross, the picture, etc. from a lower perspective? Just ideas... Nice shot, well executed. - JB
