of all the pictures showing this subject, this one stands out. i think it's because the cement is so patchy and peeling. it looks cracked and unstable, but is still a great symbol of strength for so many people.
Wonderful picture...I like this one..I keep coming back to it..thinking the border is the only weak spot...then I think maybe..it was done "out of balance".. on purpose..sort of cool
I love the perspective, think your image is strong enough to be an 8 without the frame. As it is, the frame distracts, and I cannot rank it that high. I don't like overpowering frames, and that one is asymmetrical to boot.
I like the construction of the cross - that it seems to be reinforced by the lateral parts in the blocks instead of being a solid mass, it reinforces the theme, though the cracks in the middle find me worried about its durability
I like this photo, colors and composition, major problem for me is the framing, you have total control on it, but you chose to make each side of the frame a different width.
Nice diagonal placement. Blue/black framed border works ok but I wonder why you have a larger border on the left? To me, if there is a larger border, it should have been at the bottom.
