Yes it is, isn't it? This is a good shot of what is important to one part of our society and an eyesore to another. An outlet for their creative energy and a plce to call their own while society turns a blind eye and does't offer solutions to these problems. I like the shot overall but it seems a tad oversharp and the light is a bit blown out on the right side. A 7

You know, that's a nice added touch, the "I like Pope" in the background. I can see this as sacred for the idea of being in between worlds and you can ascend or descend depending on your life. It's good imagery, but that message is a little obscured by the overall appearance. Still, good use of the challenge.

Aesthetically, something just doesn't quite click for me. Not sure if it's lighting, perspective - maybe contrast or tone? Just feels a little flat. But a sort of bold idea for the challenge, though to be picky, there's nothing particularly sacred about this place, just some of the references. But it's unique.

i'm not sure why this would be a "sacred" place. "scared" would be more like it. cool staircase, though.... a bit overexposed.

Interesting take on the challenge. I know some scholars who would laud you and claim that such places are indeed some of our most sacred. So great job! You might to experiment with a bit more contrast and/or color saturation, but I like the point of view, and the interpretation of the challenge.

Good exposure -- the details are visible throughout. Would it have been possible to get a more dramatic view of the staircase, as that seems to be the focal point of the picture?

Competently taken, but I don't quite see what the point was. There seems to be a riot of options for close-ups and macro shots within this subject to make some really great abstract images. This feels like a prelude to the real photography

I'm a city person so I understand this photo and I like it a lot. Good composition and I like the context.

Wonder how many will take the time to read 'God Will Forgive' in the graffiti? Not many I fear ... it's a good subject, but I don't think I find your approach convincing - seems an arbitrary angle to shoot from, especially as the graphic elements of the staircase would be stronger from more of an angle - perhaps facing those bottom steps? Also seems either to have been overly lightened or exposed in tthe bottom corner. Intersting effort though. 6

I don't see the sacred?

an interesting contrast. I like the diagonal of the stairs and how the railing points to the bottom left corner. the botto of the picture is a bit bright. 8
