Greetings from the Critique club. I'm going to point out a few things that I like about the photo first. I like the focus the clarity and the B&W conversion. DId it meet the challenge? I'm not so sure, the focal point of the photo to the average viewer gives us the impression that the cross is the focal point. However when you add the title it becomes more obvious where the focal point would be, then your closer to meeting the challenge. Unfortunaltly for you most viewers rarely read the title when voting, they like the photo to tell the story. Another note that religous themed shots generally do not score well, unless they are very powerful. I know its not always about the score but just keep that in the back of your mind for future entries. I'd have suggested maybe moving the cross closer to the intended focal point. I also might suggest adding a bit of constrast to the shot to make it pop a bit more. Good luck in future challenges.

more centered than rule of thirds. Good inspirational theme

This captures the imagination - you can see a ghostly figure fade in to the right of the doorway, or a couple sitting on the bench. Excellent use of hidden light at the top of the photo.

Love the shot- I really want to see two people dancing in the middle of the gazebo. But that is SOLELY my opinion and still love the colors and composition and feel. Nicely done.
