Very nice picture. I love the color of the sky in the backgroun. I think it might have been a bit nicer if the cross hadn't been quite so centered. Your picture would have been great for the silhouette challenge, too!
For some reason we always get a lot of christian symbols in these challenges. I like to vote on a) uniqueness and originality b) good composition c) excellent lighting that makes the image "pop" (I have trouble with this myself) d) good DOF (if appropriate) and e) a crisp, clear image free of tons of noise and compression artifacts. I'm starting to feel the religious and american symbols are not as unique anymore. This one has good composition, but the lighting doesn't really make it pop. I'm not sure what you could do differently with the lighting. It seems like there is a lot of noise and pixelation. I realize I'm only one voter and there are quite a few Christians involved in DP challenge so this image may speak to them more personally. . - 5
Would have liked a litle more colorsaturation and maybe more contrast to give better expression of the background color, seems litle gray. Would have liked stronger blue and pink.
