 Was out shooting some senior pics for a this girl. This cross is in TN on the mountian and can be seen from the interstate. No big adjustments just some lighting and saturation.

If this is a photo of the cross, which the title suggests, then what's the person there for? If it's a photo of the person, then the angle is bizarre and the clothing blends into the background giving a bit of a disembodied head feeling to her. So yes, probably an extra couple of points without the person.

I'm not so sure here; Posing with a crucifix? A bit greyed out in the front and underexposed beacuse its back lit; I would hate to see this simply interjected because of religion. It needs focus, punch and purpose.

Good perspective and while your model is attractive it somewhat detracts from your subject

This is a great idea but having a person in it in this case is a bit distracting. The cross needs to be a bit more in focus I think and taken a different time of day so you didn't have the glare from behind.

Overall pretty nice, but I don't see how the model adds anything to this shot.

The lady takes away from the stillness that the cross gives off.
