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

The cross shadow gives it a religous overtone, which adds a point or two.

nice composition, the shadow behind a little minus

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.

The shadow against the back adds nice balance.

kind of boring

Is the shadow shape done on purpose ?

Nice, I like how you used a third set to create the vertical shadow that ties it all together.

A bit literal for my taste...

is the cross shadow intentional? i think a non-wrinkled backdrop would have helped. nice composition.

Very interesting composition and well done. The wrinkled background isn't my favorite.

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)

Hmm. I think this looks more of a measure of heaviness, than a measure of strength. Perhaps someone lifting these things would have worked better.
