Ok, I'm prepared to take the critics like a man on this one...

First of all, it's important to say that I'm in no way supporting or approving of the topic displayed here. Sometimes I think I am a little too extreme.

Also, I do apologise to the people that have a personal disregard for this topic. Also, thanks to Hugo for being such open minded, because it's such a controversial shot (he has also no deal in this subject).

Also, I see that I'll get a lot of DNMC, because although being shadows, it's not so obvious.

This was done with a cutout with the cross, and then lighted form the right side. The whole face is in shadows, except for the part that shines through.

Let's see how it goes.

I would have rated this higher if the cross were centered better (my own preference) , otherwise, great concept.

I don't see shadow, unless you mean a creature from the shadow, but that's too cryptic for me.

Powerful ... definitely invoked a reaction in me. Until I read the title I was a bit offended. I guess thats part of what makes the image so good is that it makes you think.

strange choice... i think maybe you should have make the swastika the shadow and your face brighter. i think it would have met the challenge a little better. also maybe putting it in the middle of your forehead so that you could see the whole thing clearly. good shot over all though (7)
