That's smoke in the background but it's hard to tell. I wish I had lit the cross better, as well as open the aperature a bit more to include more of the foreground in focus. And yes I did put the chain in an infinity symbol on purpose. I know my Bible!
A personal favorite and symbolic of a transition in my life. :-) Technically speaking, if the angle was rotated more so the cross didn't fade into the shadows, it would have been more of a focus item. My eyes tend to follow the chain, as it is. Nice picture.
It is an excellent picture but the transition is not evident. I know what it means to you but the meaning is internal. It still gets a good score because it is such an excellent photo.
I like the mood and tone of this photograph. i think the out of focus background adds to the image. The only thing I don't like is that the transitional concept here is a little weak. Without the title, I would have had a hard time with it.
Nice composition. Did you put the chain in the infinity symbol on purpose? If you did thats a nice touch. Probably should have just opened up the aperture a little to get the whole cross in focus. Without looking at the title of the photograph this picture doesn't seem to fit the subject though.
A very strong photo containing several transitional elements - cross, light to dark, narrow DOF. The cross could be a little more crisp though. Nice angle. Good job.
I think a LARGE cross with Jesus on it and everything would have worked better. You could had even gavin it some crumby title like "Earth to Heaven/Man to God"
I really like this picture but it doesn't fit with what I was expecting for this challenge. I understand, and like the idea, behind this picture but I was expecting photographs of things currently in transition.
I know you will be marked down by others because of your subject. Too bad because this is a strong representation of transition and is by far the best photo in the competition. You get a 10 from me. Great job.
interesting interpretation, I'm sure you'll stir up some unkind comments. Well composed but the lighting needs some work. Perhaps a white card/ sheet of paper as a reflector to the right and pointing down would have lightened the shadows to the right of the cross ? You want to keep some of them but lighten them. Good attempt.
