Title based on the first line from the song From Yesterday by 30 Seconds to Mars.

I had a tough time deciding if it was better in b/w or in colour, it's originally gold.

I'm not Christian but I thought this fit good with the theme.

Here's my colour version,

Hi from the CC Club.

A powerful image you have going on here, the black and white is very good. Nicely sharpened, good clean lines. It does need straightening out though.

I read on the comments where it said 'only death is represented here, but he did rise up, so death adn life is represented.

Nice choice in black and white. If before you go into black and white, twiddle with some of the contrasts adn selective colours, then turn into black and white, this will give you some amazing contrasts to your shot. YOu have a natural darkness from the clouds in the bottom of your pic, these could be brought out a little to make teh white in the top very dramatic.

I like the tones in this shot, but the cross could be tweaked to be straiter in the crop. That would make it a better composition in my opinion.
