The emotional impact of the photo is very good. The fact the door is still in tack is eye catching.
Where and when was this photo? After an earthquake or storm of some type?   Posted: 12/17/2019 10:24:57
 
This church is just around the corner from me. An exterior wall clamp first and about a couple weeks later the whole building clamped. Just old like so many buildings in St. Louis City   Posted: 12/28/2019 16:38:36

I find this am impactful, photojournalistic image. The standing cross in the midst of rubble can proclaim a positive message about faith. I'd appreciate hearing more about the location of your photo and the story of the destruction. Nice job with the composition and close-up of the door.   Posted: 12/21/2019 11:19:15

Mary Sue, risky business indeed. To come close to the rubble is almost impossible in the USA unless you are there when it is happening or right after. Demolition ??, earthquake ??, war ??
Anyway, it is a very stunning image. Good composition, sharp, and the blue door takes prevalence in the image.   Posted: 12/24/2019 07:52:06
 
I love getting image like this one. This church is just around the corner from me. An exterior wall clamp first and about a couple weeks later the whole building clamped. Just old like so many buildings in St. Louis City.   Posted: 12/28/2019 16:41:14

You have a good eye to capture this image that best reflects your vision and creates an immediate reaction. The blue door with the cross among the rubble is so striking.
Well done!   Posted: 12/29/2019 14:54:50

Great capture. Love the contrast of the blue and the brownish rubble. And the blue sky in the upper left, gives it a positive vibe.   Posted: 12/29/2019 18:14:17



 
This is an impactful image. It has so many interpretive characteristics. To me the most prevalent theme is that the Church stands strong even when the world falls down around it. Color, composition, focus are all very good. Neat shot!   Posted: 12/30/2019 15:45:10
