		| | That's smoke in the background but it's hard to tell. I wish I had lit the cross better, as well as open the aperature a bit more to include more of the foreground in focus. And yes I did put the chain in an infinity symbol on purpose. I know my Bible! |

		| | what is at the far endo of the chain? Did you use aperature or was this a macro shot? |

		| | Very cool composition, and excellent use of contrast and depth-of-field. |

		| | Nice symbolism, lighting, focus... |

		| | I love this pic...the infinity symbol really touches it off...this one captures me. Well done! |

		| | A personal favorite and symbolic of a transition in my life. :-)  Technically speaking, if the angle was rotated more so the cross didn't fade into the shadows, it would have been more of a focus item.  My eyes tend to follow the chain, as it is.  Nice picture. |

		| | It is an excellent picture but the transition is not evident. I know what it means to you but the meaning is internal. It still gets a good score because it is such an excellent photo. |

		| | Good lateral thinking! I would prefer slightly more light and focus on the cross itself tho |

		| | I like the infinity symbol in the chain and the depth of field | 
 | 
		
			|  | 04/23/2002 11:19:00 PM | 
		| | a bit to dark in the foreground | 
 | 
		
			|  | 04/23/2002 08:33:00 PM | 
		| | Good depth of field.  Well done! | 
 | 
		
			|  | 04/23/2002 05:29:00 PM | 
		| | Nice DOF.  Hard to see the nails. | 
 | 
		
			|  | 04/23/2002 03:52:00 PM | 
		| | Very good composition, great use if DOF. |

		| | You did a very nice job on this.  B&W added  that extra umph.  Surface looks bumpy. | 
 | 
		
			|  | 04/22/2002 09:07:00 PM | 
		| | Simple, but so beautifully shot.  The small depth of field works wonders for this shot.  Could the cross itself be a bit brighter? | 
 | 
		
			|  | 04/22/2002 08:19:00 PM | 
		| | good idea, i think it might be hard for some people to understand the transition however | 
 | 
		
			|  | 04/22/2002 04:59:00 PM | 
		| | Good subject. Need more light on the cross. | 
 | 
		
			|  | 04/22/2002 04:12:00 PM | 
		| | I like DOF here, nice contrast | 
 | 
		
			|  | 04/22/2002 03:35:00 PM | 
		| | Great shot, excellent perspective.  (Also a big fan of the subject.) |

		| | I like the mood and tone of this photograph.  i think the out of focus background adds to the image.  The only thing I don't like is that the transitional concept here is a little weak.  Without the title, I would have had a hard time with it. |

		| | Nice composition.  Did you put the chain in the infinity symbol on purpose?  If you did thats a nice touch.  Probably should have just opened up the aperture a little to get the whole cross in focus.  Without looking at the title of the photograph this picture doesn't seem to fit the subject though. |

		| | A very strong photo containing several transitional elements - cross, light to dark, narrow DOF.  The cross could be a little more crisp though.  Nice angle.  Good job. |

		| | I think a LARGE cross with Jesus on it and everything would have worked better. You could had even gavin it some crumby title like "Earth to Heaven/Man to God" | 
 | 
		
			|  | 04/22/2002 10:23:00 AM | 
		| | really good shot. I don't catch the transition, but I still like it anyway. | 
 | 
		
			|  | 04/22/2002 08:53:00 AM | 
		| | Nice framing and composition.  As for transitioning, it's a far fetched idea. | 
 | 
		
			|  | 04/22/2002 08:27:00 AM | 
		| | I really like this picture but it doesn't fit with what I was expecting for this challenge.  I understand, and like the idea, behind this picture but I was expecting photographs of things currently in transition. | 
 | 
		
			|  | 04/22/2002 08:14:00 AM | 
		| | I know you will be marked down by others because of your subject.  Too bad because this is a strong representation of transition and is by far the best photo in the competition.  You get a 10 from me.  Great job. | 
 | 
		
			|  | 04/22/2002 08:02:00 AM | 
		| | um...huh? whats the transition here? | 
 | 
		
			|  | 04/22/2002 08:02:00 AM | 
		| | Neat idea.  Good photo.  Black and white works well here.  Would be great if all of the cross was in focus. |

		| | One of the best transitions of all....Jesus' Resurection.  Nice...very nice. I like the way you set up the shot. | 
 | 
		
			|  | 04/22/2002 07:32:00 AM | 
		| | interesting interpretation, I'm sure you'll stir up some unkind comments.  Well composed but the lighting needs some work.  Perhaps a white card/ sheet of paper as a reflector to the right and pointing down would have lightened the shadows to the right of the cross ?  You want to keep some of them but lighten them.  Good attempt. |

		| | Very well done! Inviting - yet haunting. | 
 | 
		
			|  | 04/22/2002 12:24:00 AM | 
		| | Very powerful photo ! A little more depth of field and this would be a 10. It's up there with me ! |
