Great FOCUS on the Bells...use of sheet...well, I don't know.....and I can see why you did this...shadow cross... Strength in Christ also.. thought provoking...might have been less distracting with a smoother setting
techically very well done - weights look great, effect is good. The subtlety of the cross in shadow on the quasi-pleated backdrop is interesting. The white material looks like the cloth lining a coffin. I wonder if you intended that to be a further allegory of the dominance of the cross?
Lifting weights for Jesus, huh? I wonder if many people will notice that shadow for what it is. Good idea. Too bad that background is so wrinkled. A little less wrinkly would have been awesome.
I love the placement on the whit cloth with the diagonal wrinkles. Exposure is perfect with good clean whites and strong blacks. Composition right on and even includes "serendipity" - the shadow that makes a cross.... (10)
