A re-enactment at the Elliot Baptist Church, Elliot, ME.
This will get destroyed for the grain/noise/oversharpening, but I don't care anymore. I've begun to realize that I like the heavy grain texture for my photo-journalistic efforts and my religious perspectives tend to embrace that as well.
Hopefully, outside of the challenge someone will see this for what I meant it to be. Predicting a 4.5. I've submitted what I like; not what the voters are likely to consider a ribbon winner.

I'm sure the graininess was on purpose, to perhaps add some "age" to the shot. But it is way too harsh for my tastes. I think a matte finish would be better.
