There really is no need to say anything about this image. However it would be very rude to say nothing. You might gather I like this.

David - after your comment on the other image of Avery I know I had to post this one ;-) Thank you for the kind comment.

Mark.  I looked at this a few times before commenting.  I have found it difficult to get a good shot from this perspective but think you did a wonderful job.  For me two things stand out: First, the diagonal composition created by the dark negative space in the lower right and the contrasting space in the upper left.  Second, the DOF is masterful, placing the overall focus on the cross and hands.  Maybe I am overanalyzing but I will file this one away to emulate someday.  All the best.  Dana...

This is a wonderful photograph. I like the contrasts, the tones....simply wonderful. Best regards. hen Ry

Thank you Dana and Hen Ry. I am pleased, Dana, that you noticed the doth-of-field choice as it was deliberate.
