Very dramatic.

Lots of powerful imagery going on here, the clouds are so dark and the break in them right behind the cross is very nice composition.
03/17/2009 07:30:23 AM
Dramatic image.
03/16/2009 10:45:18 PM

a bit of a brooding picture...a little to dark for me
03/16/2009 12:02:09 AM
cool shot of the cross
03/15/2009 11:14:20 PM
Well captured and presented. Very strong silhouette forms.
03/15/2009 05:29:45 PM
great clouds and subject
03/15/2009 04:44:07 PM
i like it just wish the cross popped out a little more
03/15/2009 02:36:51 PM
Nice colors in the clouds.
03/15/2009 11:05:36 AM
good drama, but not enough foreground detail to tell what this is imo
03/15/2009 08:00:38 AM
A dramatic sky that goes well with the cross. Perhaps you could crop it a bit so the cross isn't so centered?
03/15/2009 07:11:10 AM
I like the composition and subject but I think I would have liked it better cropped more off the bottom
03/15/2009 05:49:44 AM
dramatic sky...
03/15/2009 02:46:29 AM
dramatic cloudscape, the silhoutte does not add much to the overall image.6
03/15/2009 02:04:06 AM
nice sky and I know how difficult is to take a shot under such a high contrasted conditions... but I lack there sth..
cheers, brano

A good way to generate drama.
03/14/2009 03:43:54 PM
Cross cross arm gets a bit lost in the clouds, but then so did the occupant. A bit dark, and the colors are a bit muted.
03/14/2009 11:46:55 AM
The sky glow and cloud colors are nice. The cross is too subtle to really anchor the center of the shot.
03/13/2009 10:04:00 PM
Very dramatic sky.
03/13/2009 06:10:52 PM
The cross silouetted against the dramatic sky is effective.
03/13/2009 02:20:38 PM
The detail definition is a little lost, but I do like the light and colors through the clouds.
03/13/2009 11:41:44 AM
Very moving.
03/13/2009 08:25:54 AM
great sky as the background, I like the silhouette cross, nicely done
03/13/2009 06:05:03 AM
There is a lot of dark space at the bottom that draws your attention away from the cross.
03/13/2009 05:58:26 AM
Nice sky. The cross gives it something special.
03/13/2009 03:54:40 AM
like the composition, picture looks too dark
03/13/2009 02:33:51 AM
great textures in the sky
03/12/2009 04:16:19 PM
stunning
03/12/2009 04:13:56 PM
hmmm
03/12/2009 12:07:16 PM
Cool use of the clouds and lighting.
03/12/2009 10:20:58 AM
Little too dark overall.
03/12/2009 05:22:02 AM
Very emotive silhouette. Nice dramatic sky to.
03/12/2009 03:01:08 AM
an off centered composition and having it with a little bit less contrast would make it a better picture
03/12/2009 02:09:26 AM
A beautiful sky that highlights the cross well. I like the centered composition because of the importance of the subject. I find that the sky lacks clarity, but I'm not sure why - not sure if it's noisy or jpg artifacts.
03/11/2009 08:13:13 PM
Lacks impact. The underexposure takes away from any story you're trying to portray.
03/11/2009 05:33:42 PM
Interesting shot. I'm not so sure that the central composition lends itself well to the subject, maybe if you were a little closer?
03/11/2009 04:33:16 PM
The sky has a lot of character in this shot.
03/11/2009 12:39:01 PM
a little too dark at the bottom of the picture
03/11/2009 02:36:14 AM
A nice shot with some great colour. Sometimes i see a photo that i can only describe the processing as "muddy" and I'm not really sure how to explain what i mean by that with this shot but i think the heavy black foreground and darkness of the clouds has resulted in that feeling for me. The orange and blue have loads of potential but in the end it just feels too heavy. Good luck: 5.
