Becky, I love this statue of Christ - the lighting in your picture is beautiful. I used to fire small ceramic versions of this statue in my kiln for Seminary Graduation here.
This is a very moving image, the contrast is great , I like the light shining through the robe, it gives the image dimension. Outstanding image, very moving message. 10
Fit Challenge Criteria: 2/2

This is a nice photo. Good literal composition. As state above, I think it is a little flat. On another note, I do love this statue. It is great.
At first I was going to suggest the backlighting would be nicer if it was a little higher, such as around the sholders or head area but on second tought I think it's a pretty nice picture just like it is. Tone down the brightness under his left arm a little, as I think that distracts.
Why didnt you just called this "religion"? It's agreat shot. I'm not normally a stickler for titles but IMO this challenge had very defined rules about the title and you seem to have ignored them.
Nice, clean black background. I'm not so sure I like the backlighting here, because it doesn't add drama (no streaks of light coming out from behind Jesus's head) just puts His face in shadow.
