Sorry my friend, only after you pointed it out did the formation near the bottom resemeble what could be a cross to me. Each mind (especially around these parts) sees things differently. You seen a cross in the shot and the photo took on a certain personal meaning for you. Maybe a play on words in the title would have directed the view that area you wished them to see.

IMO...The quick viewers (<2 seconds) probably passed this off as an underexposed attempt at a sunset...

For me... The formation that you wish us to pick out, takes backseat to Dark Clouds on top, Hot center Point of the Photo, Rays of the Sun and very dark horizon, my eyes are quickly drawn to any of these emphasised areas and I completely over looked what you perceived to be a cross.

Now this would have worked for me if the cross was more prominent. My mental image of a Cross is that the vertical needs to be longer on the bottom than top or it becomes a plus "+" sign... I am not seeing that here although the bottom portion of the cross could be hidden by that large tree my minds eye did not put that together. Perhaps a tighter crop on top and less on the bottom would help the illusion that combined with a title that steered us that direction (without telling us what exactly we were looking for) might have helped more see the idea behind your shot.

My eye was drawn to the branches on the upper left corner and the tree on the right. It feels as though there's no central subject. Lovely color on a lovely clear day!

It's a great star isn't it - the sun? Billions of hydrogen bombs going off every second, whiplashes of blazing magnetic tornados larger than the earth, whirling nuclear storms of unfathomable violence - and yet here it all looks so serene! Always delivering suprises, wonderment and celestial glory that ball of fire - I love it.

Good rays (perhaps a tad over-smoothed) and definitely the kind of scene that humbles me too.

Yahtzee!

The black background was a great choice to contrast against the red cup and white dice. Nice lighting as well, bumping up.
