From the Critique Club

As I look at your photography the first thing that stands out is that it is not technically sound. I think you could have taken the shot from a different POV and it would have helped the composition but the lighting has a lot of blow out areas that are distracting, especially in the facial features of the students. The overhead lighting was too strong. The focus is very soft and I think it your shot would have been focused sharply on the cross (showing the rugged texture) it would of would of had more an impact.

With that said if you are trying to show Gods love for us through the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, you did meet the challenge. There is no high love than that!

In conclusion I have noticed that this is just your second challenge. Don’t get down on the scores, focus more on taking the pictures that you have emotional ties too. But while doing so don’t forget the technical aspects and you will begin to see you’re photographs come to life with emotion.

I wish you the best in future challenges.

I know this has to do with religion but I don't understand what they're doing.
