My suggestion is that Jesus be kept in focus, but its kinda hard to see like that.
But good pic anyways!

richliow said:oh i put the copyright for fun one,
saw some of the forumers putting...
so try my first time :bsmilie:
Isaiahfortythirtyone said:hmm i understand what you're trying to create. but somehow it doesnt work out for me. it's too cold a picture, lacking in emotion. the cross is too straight, the edges are too smooth. the actual cross was just raw, unprocessed wood.
the cross overshadows the figure of Jesus at the bottom. plus, the figure of jesus, is a cold statue-like thing. no facial expression, nothing.
if u wanted to tkae a photo like that, why not get someone real to realyl carry a wooden cross? it would bring across the emotions and meaning that should be present in such a photo.

A standard copyright in the corner of the picture is already a standard.
If you want to put something different, please consider :
- Does it enhance the image?
- Does it have a purpose?
- Does it appriorate?
I'm not disagree with put copyright big big one or put a chunk of text on the picture, but it must have a purpose. I know some people they use text to enhance the image. They put text in empty space to make it balance. Some use it to balancing the colour also. Some use typeface to inject the feel to the picture.
Think about what you can do with the text to enhance ur image, be it copyright or whatever text.

doplee said:1st look at what are your content for this picture or what is the topic about? For a postal ads?
Focus is alway on the subject you want to talk about, Cross or Jesus?
If the shoot was not clear and no budget, then you can do some touch up with Photoshop later.
I'm a Film person, lately came into digital.
Just did some touch up on your picture, Sorry I have infringed your copyright.
But I'm not using it for any other purposed, is for your awareness.
You can do so much on touch up nowaday with digital, put in a watermark copyright.
It will help.
Good shot, What is your pictures use for?
eng_keow said:IMHO, I think your framing is good. Much prefer the 2nd pic. Would like it if Jesus is more in focus and with more shadowing to make him stand out. The cross should be slightly OOF but seen. The bg is a little distracting for me - looks like there is a banana tree??
Juz a suggestion - maybe make it sepia and tweek with the contrast and lighting.
Anyway great job. Reminds me of Passion of Christ.
