To clarify to everyone about so much religion in the world. I believe the callenge stated somthing that has "outlived it's usefulness". The definition to me had nothing to do with how often the item is still used. I expected to get slammed for my beliefs though so no hard feelings. All in the eye of the beholder.
nice layout, but I wish the book's face would have come through a bit clearer. I have to strain to read "holy bible" and I would have liked to see it just pop out.
If religion is obsolete, our little world is in deeper trouble than I thought. (Or, if it's obsolete, please tell those jihad boys over closer to Mecca. Maybe we can end a few wars and save a lot of lives... )
some burned out highlights on the bottom two fingers, but an interesting composition nonetheless.
Sorry, I have to disagree. Prayer and religion are not obsolete, there are 4 churches, 1 sybagouge and i Mosque within 2 miles of my home. Great composition and exposure on this image thouigh.
Interesting interpretation , would have liked to see the lighting balanced out a bit more ... the thumb and the holy bible for instance could have been better lit. Creative idea though.
I can't very well grasp your way of thinking that religion is obsolete, when half the world is fighting over it till this very day and will be till the end of days. I'm sorry, but it doesn't tell me anything and therefor I'll rate it a 4
Religion is obsolete now? My faith is the ONLY thing that keeps me going and striving everyday. Nice technical peice though. Love the lighting and the light sepia tone.
I think that some people in high places would definitively disagree that your subject has outlived its usefulness. It can be used in elections, lawmaking, and court ruling... but still an interesting and brave concept. What is useful to some may be outlived to others.
Technically, i'm not the favourite of the colour tone you picked - it makes the skin on the hands look too unnatural. Also, minor distraction is the clipped fingernail on the ring finger - probably was broken - but a distraction nevertheless. 6.
I may have went for a different angle with the lighting.. I find the words "holy bible" hard to read (but maybe its just my monitor). I think it is an overall good shot, and I hope you don't get hit too hard score wise due to the topic you chose.
Politics, war and work should also be declared obsolete, however as all of the aforementioned as well as religion is practiced my millions I feel it is out of context with the challenge.
Ahhhhhh. . . .not obsolete at all. . . but I like your photo. The lighting is so appealing on the young hands, and the color tones make this one of the nicest composed images I've seen so far. 8
Oooooo, you are going to get hammered by the bible thumpers for this one. Howe ever, I atotally agree with what you are saying here: religion is taking a hammering as people get disillusioned by it. Good toning.
