This must be herald as one of the truly great studies in the DPC arena. This is a piece of art that is gut wrenching and then beautiful. It is an idea brought to fruition with so much visual power that another look is required. In my opinion, this is by far the most impressive image I have seen in the corridors of DPC. I recall how my senses were floored when I first laid eyes on Dali's crusufixion. Well, a similar feeling overtook me when I came upon this image. It is one that I can call a masterpiece.

One of a very few which I consider to have the true look and feel of a movie poster. The only critisism here is the crop. Would have like to see it longer to reflect the dimensions of a true poster... Well done... :)

Great photo, creative title... I will be dissapointed if this does not ribbon!
Post actions
One of my favorite photos. 10

Lighting/composition- choice of bg... all excellent - your image reminds me a lot of Dali's painting 'Christ of St. John on the cross'. Well done
Post actions
this is a great pic. nice imaganation. and the title is one of a movie and i can definitely see this as the poster. well done.
Post actions
This is an outstanding photograph. Fits this challenge perfectly, great use of negative space. The toning and expression are excellent. One of my top picks.
Post actions
Dali like image from a different angle. The lighting and mood is tops with that ribbon quality. Good luck. Bump.

Awesome shot! Very emotive

Great point of view, wonderful light, framing and toning. Good capture of emotion on the face and body. 9

Blue Ribbon pick from me...stunning image. (I hope you dont suffer from the god squad marking you down.) 10
Post actions
whoa! very creative yet simple yet powerful. good job.
Post actions
Yikes, this is a dramatic, scary image and an intriguing title. I'll go see it.
Post actions
I didn't know there'd been more than one. I'm torn; it's a technically superb photograph, it's convincingly staged (and cleverly inverted in orientation), but for all its visual impact it still has a phony, theatrical look about it. Of course, that doesn't make it a bad image, in this or any other context. Maybe it's because this Christ looks so much like an Australian fast bowler (that's cricket) called Jason "Dizzy" Gillespie that I just can't take him seriously as a messiah. It would certainly make a very effective movie poster, where its undemanding and unequivocal qualities would be an advantage. 8.

Oh my goodness..... this is might powerful stuff!! Fantastic fit for this challenge, awesome lighting and POV. Superb!
Post actions
This one caught my eye immediately from the thumbnail. Nicely executed and the lighting is spot on for setting the tone of the pic. Outstanding entry.

beautifully captured. Excellently edited. Some may not like it (religious type) but who cares. Probably best in challenge 10
Post actions
Increased my vote after checking every image, it's a perfect 10, really well done
Post actions
I wasn't going to vote in this challenge, but when I saw this picture I just had to give it a 10!!!! A 20 if I could!!
Post actions
Fantastic! it seems like the model has long hair. the only thing I think could make it more interseting is if the hair was down and matted and sweaty.
Post actions
Very good shot. I would definetely see this one used as a filmposter.
Post actions
Great expression...very well done...love the angle and the illusion of it
Post actions
Wow, very powerful shot, one of my favorites. Can make a great poster. Not sure about the translation, though (should be "of the first Christ). not that it is of any importance...
Post actions
Ok you win. I just hope it isn't who I think it is. :P
Post actions
Damn....Alexberri? THis is the Slvador Dali picture. Damnnn, I wnted to recreate this painiting in Photo format and you beat me to it! hehe. how did u make, or where did u find the cross? are you on the ground and the camera is up high? This shot is very well done. Added it to my favorites. bump
Post actions
Fantastic angle and expression. This should do very well!
Post actions
very emotive. Nice job. Duotone (amlost) works very well here. I think the only suggestion i could make would be to move him down in the frame, so there is more black space above him than below, and move his feet forward slightly so he's not at such an extreme angle from the viewer. As it is now, his position draws you eye down his body, out his feet, and out of the image.
Post actions
Brilliant!!!! OF all the images - this really suits all aspects of the challenge to me. The title is very movie-like - the image itself would be a perfect poster as well. Bravo - you did it!
Post actions
OK...what language would that be because if it's supposed to be italian it would be IL PRIMO CRISTO... great shot, but perhaps you need to explain the language of the title which is all important in this challenge
Post actions
Great shot Alex. Wonderful POV.
Del Primo Christ (The First Christ)
