The photo is symbolic of God's vantage point from above sending His one and only Son, Jesus to die for all of mankind's sin, once and for all (John 3:16). :) This was a fun theme to try to portray! Thank you DP once again.

Greetings from the Critique Club Howard.

First off I like your idea, the composition is very good and O personally like the fact there are 3 elements to the image. I'm slightly confused by the depth of field looking at your exif data but quite like the fact that the sharpest part of the image is the message you were trying to convey. Chromatic aberration was mentioned in your comments and think this is an exposure issue? You don't show your editing steps but it looks to me as if you overused the shadow/highlight function in CS3 (or similar).

Was the paper white? I quite like the fact the paper colour merges with the coins here. I didn't vote in this challenge but would probably have skipped past it with a 5 as (for me) it doesn't grab my attention.

Good luck with your future challenges here at dpc.

I'm not sure what to think about this. 3 different objects to look at is maybe too many.

Your poor lens is letting your shot down. Lots of chromatic aberration at the edges.
