Protest of the Cross, 12

Nice composition.

Comments, suggestions, ratings appreciated on this cross-processed

cross. I liked the color shift (slide film processed in c-41

chemistry), which I enhanced some in Photoshop. Thanks.

Great photo. The color works very well. Did you intend it to be this grainy? The grain makes it look very artistic.

The graininess is sometimes a product of the cross-processing. Forgot to mention, this film is also about 2 years out-of-date. Bought a 20-pack for 15 bucks on *bay to experiment with!

i like this very much, nice tones & feeling.

I like this, and I like your cross-processing experiments. Maybe some day I'll try them too...

For this shot, if the cross is your subject, it has to be *sharp*, that's not happening here, apparently as a consequence of some kind of blurring process.

It never occured to me to develop transparency film in C-41, it has worked and worked well. The feeling of light that this image generates for me is wonderful, it is so apt for the subject, a cross. Perfect attention to detail, well done.

good crossing effect! just like made by software. ( for my pedantic eye rotate it please 1 degree right :-)

Best robertO

You've obtained a fine satinlike red in the steeple - bold yet smooth. I like the tones, especially the brightest spot just left of the cross. Would prefer the rotation mentioned and a bit less grain.

Great colors

Great effect, almost painterly like. The tones are great, very striking image. Nice job.

love the grain and color...

This is very striking and really stands out in the thumbnails. The red is sumptuous and the colours complementary. I quite like the unsharp cross. It seems a bit allegorical in reference to the decline of religious focus in today's world. I don't think the rotation would improve it as the tilt seems to be vertical rather than horizontal. My only nit is that I would like the image to be a touch higher in the frame, but it's not a big issue. I still really like it as is.

the glow at the back of the cross adds a feeling of "halo" to the entire picture and makes it spiritual... serves the purpose of this pic. i also notice a light on the front on the red tile of the church... its as if the heavens have opened to bestow light on the church. the graininess gives a feeling of cloudiness to the entire frame... and the general of light in spite of the cloudiness gives this a distinct meaning. fantastic work!
