Nice frame powerful eerie feeling about this shot...Silhoutte and nice top lighting....sky looks like a red filter.....the icon of the cross and bird is contemplative...thank you.
Very dramatic image. Considering the 'eye-level' (midway in the momument) here, this tombstone, and you, must have been standing on the edge of a very steep ravine in order to get the clouds way below eye level.
Love that glow border, Julia. PERFECT for this shot. I'd be interested to know how you go the tops of the monument lit so well, while keeping the rest in shadow.
Very nice work...again.
im very sad i didnt have a chance to comment on this earlier...but WOW! wonderful..very moody and very gothic--i love it... the background is fantasic, contrasting beautifully with the subject. awesome.
wow. i loved this photo and i'm adding it to my favorites now. I'm very surprised and pleased to see this take a ribbon. Congrats. Hope to see more quality images like this winning on here in the future.
I'm Glad to see this photo take a ribbon. It is my highest rated shot in the challenge.
The symbol of life and death, the sky vs. the ground, black on white. This is a perfect rendition of the challenge. Congratulations
WOW...what a wonderful surprise! I was hoping to place in the top ten...but this is even better. Thank you for your comments...I appreciate them very much. Julia
This was a great find. The dove perched on top of the cross with a heavenly cloud behind it is just excellent. The story this images tells is one of hope for those we lossed. This is truely a piece of art. 10 -danny
ok...first a good shot super contrast and i like the light falling on the cross. but what does not work for me is the title unless you meant to make another statement. the bird does not look like a bird of "PREY" which confuses the shot for me unless you meant to title it "PRAY" which would make more sense...I dont know:( I will not as I know some may have take away because of the title, just kinda would like to know what meaning you meant. good luck 6
EXCELLENT!!!! Two thumbs up. I'm new to website & unable to vote, but after seeing this, I wish I could. Great Job. Let me know when prints are available.
Whenever I look at the gallery, my eye keeps being drawn to this particular thumbnail. It really stands out in an eerie kind of way. I can't vote but if I could, I'd have to give you a 9 or 10...what the heck, make it a 10.
Great contrasts, in colors and in themes. I like the stark bird and tombstone against the billowing and imposing clouds. This shot could easily be in a horror film to add ambience. Really nice work
I'm a beginner so I can't offer any good advice on your picture but just wanted to say that the idea is wonderful. The double contrast.. between light and dark and between prey and pray is very creative :)
very moving... very thought provoking... one of the strongest photos i have seen recently... i'm jealous :) great shot and good luck in this challenge :) = 10
