Thought of a lot of meaningless nonsense I could put up for "Hope", but in reality, this is the only Hope man truly has. God bless you and keep you His. John 3:16-17.

Kevin, I thought this might be yours. It's an exceptionally clever concept. The tiles look great against the black background. The "letterbox" frame looks terrific (I almost think they should be outlawed). :-) This would make a great poster and could possibly sell, but I think you would have to reshoot because even at this size it looks a bit soft. I'd love to really see the grain in the wooden tiles! I also felt the title was proselytizing, but didn't "deduct" points for that.

I've come back to edit my feedback here - I think my take during the challenge was a bit reactionary, so apologies for that. Granted I'm not a fan of religiously themed images but I should have put that to one side. I had commented that I didn't think that much going on photographically; probably because it didn't hold my interest due to my prejudice. On reflection, the combination of the letters and the symbol is effective; as is the framing used.

I think the lighting is perhaps a little flat and I wonder how the scene would look with low light source pointed in from the side; I would agree that some better clarity of the texture in the wood would have improved the image.

Since post my initial comments, I've been bothered my I how intolerant I must've appeared - so I have had a growing need to come back and rectify that.

There's no doubt you had a clear vision with this image and you have executed it well and reading other comments here, you struck a chord with many a member.

Wonderful lighting and composition. And I agree with this. :)

23 points? If I've done my math correctly, probably haven't, but anyway... I give you 5 for a good composition, good use of the fish, and interpretation of this challenge, but the title is a bit to strong. Not everyone share this belief, thus to strong pointing it out like that.

I really like this. I haven't seen any pics like this before, so for me, it's a unique picture. I like the clarity and the composition. You will probably be getting voted down because of the message, but I voted on the picture and feels it gets a 10.
