I was really struck by the light and mood of this photo (I gave it an 8), but there is something "off" with the composition that I still can't be sure of. I think it is how the top of the man's head meets the top of the wall and aligns with the bottom of the church -- almost as if the church building is sitting on his head. Move his hands a bit and you'd have a complete optical illusion of him holding the church, Atlas-like.

Surprising how many people commented on the sweater!

shame about what he is wearing, like soo last year ;-), no seriously the sweater does not go with the begging/desparate mood of the picture

Nice scene, but the sweater distracts.

I believe this would have worked better without the person.

I like this, it is a well layed out shot, although the shirt lets the shot down.....but I won't hold that against you :) (7)

poignant .. i love the composition with that expanse of dark blue/grey sky and the church dwarfed by it .. the closed gate is another excellent element that gives strength to your message .. the positioning of the person with his back to the church shows me that altho the person is looking, he may be looking in the the wrong place, which of course is a very common 'problem'!!!! ... the sunlight so bright on the church is like a 'look at me' .. if only he'd turn around he may find his god ... of course he may have turned his back intentionally on that particular god and be looking for god somewhere else, but still not finding him ... so many messages in this wonderful image ... =10

I love the light on the church and the pose and placement - but I got to say that the choice of the dress for the man - the sweater just seems a little odd - a solid color (less happy) might make this a little more dramatic. Still, it gets a 7 for well done.

his sweater clashes with the image ... solid color would have worked better
