I think I'd like to go and live in those clouds. I really really love the blue color too.

nice picture, i like the sky and the sun shining through and all that, but there is a bit too much distracting stuff in the bottom of the picture to warrant a save

awesome sky. Is this digital?
halloo9 (80 months ago | reply)
interesting pic, but the sun isnt covered enough.

Comrade_S (80 months ago | reply)
yes this is digital. If by digital you mean taken on a digital camera.
Otherwise the sky looked like that, those be real clouds there! Not generated.

It's a very moving picture - but I detect sentimental attachment, and it really should not be here. Thank you for sharing it, it looks a very moving moment.

Comrade_S (80 months ago | reply)
no attachment, this wasnt the grave I was visiting, and why be attached to a wooden symbol anyhow? I mean being attached to someone living is a whole different matter, but a representation of a dead person?

Great sky, great idea, but with all the junk in the foreground, the cross looks like it is cut off at the knees.

wilkiecoco (80 months ago | reply)
This is truly a beautiful shot. I love the sky and positioning of the cross. If I had to pick at it closely, I would say there's a bit of a blown out part right at the cross that's too bright and seems like it's trying to cast a ray of light across the cross, but it's just not able to, so it's just a bit disturbing. But that's really an irrelevant point to justify a deleteme. It's really a nice photo.

Amazing! Beautiful and poignant.

nice colors
kfergos (76 months ago | reply)
It has potential, but I'm afraid it's not as interesting as it could be. The dark part of the picture is distracting, and although the cross and sky could go well together, it's been done so often it's not compelling anymore.

Striking, almost religious! Love how the sun sneaks through the cross. Nice shot.

I love the feel of this... the emotion.. on a techincal side, the bright white to the one side of the cross is distracting a bit but maybe that's the beauty of it.. intensity

beautiful sky - you manipulate it much? shame about the flaring and the ground makes it a bit cluttered - could maybe have got a better angle?
