What an interesting shot Michael. The window looks as though it is just hanging in space, although I can really see that it is part of a building. The silhoutte of Christ hanging on the cross is very haunting. Very well done.

Un angle de vue très interressant, j'aime cette croix vue de 3/4 et ces ombres sur le mur; Beau cadrage !

Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States
Wow Michael, this is really nicely done. You have a lot of detail in a rather minimalist shot. I like the tree shadows on that white wall, and the window (from heaven?) looking down to the cross and grave markers.

@Viewfinder: I think your interpretation is wonderful. thank you, VF.
@Saeed: Many thanks, Saeed.
vu@granby - Wolfgang from Granby, Québec, Canada
I like this a lot, but I wonder if there was a possibility of a front 3/4 view of the cross with another window , giving a similar composition.

@vu@granby - Wolfgang: It was the only window on that wall. I went for this angle because of the shadow and composition. Thanks for commenting, Wolfgang!
martie from Okinawa, Japan

@Farhad.B: Thank you, Farhad.

Great shot - a different view of a familiar subject (the cross) and with the added shadows and window have really composed a wonderful photo. Well done.

Michael,
The angle you chose is wonderful so that it includes the window. I love the stark contrast in light and dark too. Well seen and captured.
