Hi Chris,

Interesting analogy. I think that you'll encounter thorns and pitfalls either way though. The symbolism is well seen here. Great POV and diagonal flow. TFS.

Best regards,

I like the diagonal progression through the frame of this one, there's something about your low POV that creates a real sense of toil and ascent, with the cross as the pinncacle of all, reaching into the heavens.

I'm not a believer but I do like the symbolism you have shown here - great job!

Hello Chris,

Nicely symbolic!
I like how the lion has conquered the thorns and is guarding the way to the cross!
Fine details of the f/g thorns and a good, diagonal composition.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Chris,
I like this diagonal composition with the sharp cactus in foreground. They lead us towards the lion and our glance goes to the cross. Warm colors constrasting well with the light blue sky. Excellent rendering of the textures and good note, too!
Bravo! Annie

Hello Chris,
This is a contradictory piece in a sense as peoples once were fed to the lions as they stood by the meaning to the cross. By the Lions were led a Man with a crown of thorns, and staked upon the Cross.
The landscape appears to be much the same as to where Christ was crucified, dry and desolate.

Hi Chris,

The cactus is framing well the road. The point of view is showing the details and colors of the statue of the lion and of the white cross. The nice sky is sending a light which is enhancing the colors. have a nice day.
