Straight from camera, slight crop.

I was actually chasing thunderstorms along a highway I have never driven, and saw this cross.

I couldn't decided which one to enter on this challenge and didn't have much time to think about it..wonder if this would have done better..?

Symbolic. Some thought given to this.

nice idea, but why the cross is so edgy?

IMHO this is a great shot. I love how the sun shines from the break in the clouds towards the cross. I'm not sure if I'd leave the bottom as is, might improve overall shot if cropped out.

The sunlight almosts speeds up the cross here. Nice light.

Pixelated? Cut and pasted? Nice effect of the sunlight...

Nice idea, interesting place by the looks of it, though I wish there were more light on the cross.

great light - the lines on the cross look pixelated though - like the image was resized in some odd way...

I've been here, the cross in Groom Tx off of I-40. The photo I took of it did no justice to it's size. This image brings it into more perspective. I like it //i76.photobucket.com/albums/j2/MeridianSage/Nature/GroomsCrossgrtc.jpg

Nice beam of light, is that cross as big as it looks? Because it looks huge! Lighting is a bit dull, you might want to try brightening it up.

This is a terrific picture that is close to being amazing. Not sure what you can do in basic editing (I'm still learning) but the cross and foreground are maybe a bit too dark, and the jagged edges on the cross detract a bit.

Now this is really powerful. I wonder where this is?

This looks amazing. Dis you just camp out in this spot every night until the sun and clouds were just right?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/10/2006 01:22:55 PM
Would have given a 10 if the cross had no jaggies.
