    I feel my halo denting as I think Christfuck would make a rad band name.
    But as I studied photography at college for the past few months, here's my attempt at critique. The vertical frame serves this really well, with the crucifix imposing where we see from the ground. it helps reinforce that it's the iconography of an omniscient sky god bearing down on us all. I'm not sure if the background was blurred out to help unify the sign so it remains abstracted, but it does help bring out the pale greys of the sky. Giving the composition more negative space to help it breath. The foreground I love that its in sharp focus, because the cereal grass, looks a bit like wheat.

    A Small detail I love immensely because thematically it fits with the other aspects of foreboding. Cain who we all know killed Abel in the story of Genesis, was a farmer and was cursed to no longer be able to farm the land. So I can figuratively take this photo as we're seeing it from Cain's perspective; God hates him, the grounds forsaken him, and can't find sustenance as wheat has turned to weeds for him. This isn't a sympathetic portrayal, not that Christfuck alone wasn't a tip-off. But I want to say that again... Christfuck...
