I was going to stay away from this challenge as I figure it was playing with fire. Nobody could really agree last time what counted as what. Anyway, inspiration hit and here I am. One lame thing was getting home with the 12-pack of Pepsi and realizing the cans didn't look normal. D'oh!
I think what the picture has going for it is almost instant recognition of what is going on. No title needed. I also figure even hardcore atheists like Shannon know the story of the Good Samaritan.
Looking forward to a 5.3.

Nice shot, similar to mine. I like the whole Pepsi vs. Coke thing you have here, although I'm not sure I quite like the overall image. Something missing, although I may be biased in this challenge, very pleased with my own entry ;)
You really did a connection of 2000 years here! Great composition (I suppose the drops are the victim's "blood:"). You told a great story here and demonstrated how a title can make or destroy an image.
I love it! Congratulations!
like the shot. seems more like a "and stay down" kind of moment however. your title might have come across better if you could have figured out a way to make the cans in the back look like they were moving past.
