interesting subject and very balanced composition (except the black bar in the foreground though). sky possibly a bit dull. a bit more contrast would give more impact.
Why a 2? Because the subject (building's I presume) are being blocked by the bottom of the window, and nothing in the shot inspires me to think it's anything beyond a common snapshot. I know that probably sounds mean, and I don't mean it that way - but a submission for a contest should be inspired by something, IMHO.
I think you would have been much better off cropping out the bar (or whatever it is) at the bottom. Although there is metal in this shot, it looks (maybe my monitor?) like the cross is wooden, and since that's the focus of the image I'm having a hard time relating this to the challenge. The sky seems a little blown out as well.
Not a bad idea. I think if you had repositioned yourself to get the cross against a simpler sky background this would be improved. As it is - the cross blends into the building. The lighting is a bit harsh (try more contrast and saturation) and maybe try cropping the blurred black foreground cross bar (or whatever that is). BOL
a little more to the right to make the cross stand out a bit more would have been nice - but I don't know if the viewing platform goes there. Emotional with the glimpse of the flag.
