WoW! Thanks everybody for the votes (it's really hard for me to get a 6 score), and the comments (my last entry only had 2!) and even the favorite while voting was still going on - too cool!!! I knew the subject matter was a little edgy and expected this to rate much lower than it did - so thanks very much!!!


I know Kelly Clarkson's song, I've seen the video, and this picture is not a take on the song at all. It's simply an image of the title or phrase "Because Of You".

Because Jesus suffered and died on a cross, my sins are forgiven, and I have eternal life.

That's what it's all about. That's all there is!

I like the POV you used in capturing this photo and the strong diagonal line. The sky works in your favor also. Being advanced editing I'd have cloned out that little piece of tree branches showing in the bottom left. :D The sharpest area of this image is around the feet and lower legs. I think I'd have tried to put the focus more on the head and chest area - not that the upper areas are badly OOF or anything, just a tad soft. The score on this will probably hit the center with polarizing votes based on subject matter. Hope you knew that going in. Overall, well done. Good luck in the challenge.

Outstanding take on the title!! And very well executed. I'd give you extra points to offset the people who will vote this down for subject matter, but I hate when people do that. :) Really good job here.

Very strong composition. Nice tones, which must have been difficult to acheive given that flat lighting.
