I have to admit, a number of the contrasts in this image were lost on me until I read along with your description, but having done so this image went from "nice" to "great" in my mind. Most striking to me is the rigidity of the spike driver's hands as compared to the open submission of the victim.

Thank You, sir! This is a great testimony to the only King of Time & Eternity...and all that exists in todo!
You have created a graphic & admirable portrayal of the only Person to willingly nail Himself to a cross with spikes of LOVE and wake up after three days of death...simply because He wanted to do so, He had finished His assignment, and simply because He could. Death was not powerful enough to keep Him dead.
Wow! The God-Man who could hang His own body on a cross, like any other man hangs his coat on a nail in the closet. Then, He went to work ransacking His enemy's lair, and returned to the "closet" after showing the enemy who was Boss to pick up His fleshly "suit-coat" just in time for a victory celebration with friends before He returned to His Father's House to take up residence on His Princely Throne!
Be Blessed, Dear Friend, for thy creation hath caused me to wax eloquent! I liketh that very much! :) |

| First off congrats on your ribbon. Secondly, I didn't look or vote on this challenge because I didn't feel comfortable with the topic. But if I had I would have given yours a 10. You did a very nice high contrast B/W photo. I just love the processing. I am a big fan of B/W photos. They always seem to have so much detail and emotion. I can't believe I am going to say this but I am going to have to make this one of my favorites. You really did a great job. |

| Great shot. 9. I like the contrast and the gritty hands of the "nailer." Just a suggestion, not a nit pic at all, but maybe some leather straps or something wrapped around Jesus's wrist would make that hand seem less posed. |
|
| Photographer found comment helpful. |
|
|
06/04/2007 09:00:14 PM |
I really like this but the Jesus hand needs to be more roughed up. He went through more than we could imagine. Hand looks too clean in other words.
Back to bump. 9 Nice job. |

I like the high contrast and low key setup for this shot. You have really simplified this subject by showing only the hands and tools. You "nailed" the title.
Only drawback seems to be that the frame seems a bit crowded with 6 items (three hands, hammer, nail and cross) squeezed together, but I think it works nonetheless. Only wish I could make a shot half as compelling. |
|
| Photographer found comment helpful. |
|
|
05/31/2007 10:02:07 PM |
| The monochrome, combined with excellent highlights and contrast makes this an exceptional shot. For example, the white highlight on the near edge of the hammer saves that part of the shot from being too dark. The dirty hands on the hammer and nail vs. the clean hand. Even the wood of the cross looks metallic in this lighting. |

| Powerful image! It's well executed and well processed. B&W was a great choice. But its strongest feature is its composition. Composition of the hands is terrific. Triangle formed by the head and point of the spike and the hammer reinforces the triangle formed by the hands. The overlapping triangles swing your eye round and round the frame. |
