Glass cross, surrounded by red hot smoke.

Apparently the yin and yang of life. It seems to work both ways,from hell to haven and opposite, account to the personnel emotion of the viewer. I guess you have a lot of contradicting reviews on it. There is the question what is the haven and what is hell. If the viewer looks closely haven and hell seems to change places, because a cross from blue ice seems to melt into the flames of emotion. Fire and water. Two of the elements of classical Greek.

I really enjoyed this photo even though I am not spiritual because it represents balance. I really enjoyed the effect of the lighting and the smoke, but especially the glass cross which looks like an ice sculpture literally melting underneath in the flames of hell. Great work on this shot, thanks for sharing.

I love the bright almost neon colors in this photo. I, like you love the lights and colors. Really pretty. I like your color choices. Interesting concept, which I like. The fire is cool looking. I like the blue the most. On a black background is great too.
Wonderful!
Natalie

There you go with all those amazing lights and symbolism! A lot to see here if one takes the time..from the textures on the cross arm at the right, to the molten look at the bottom! Donkeyoatey

Very nice title. I feel like this should be on the front of a Marilyn Manson album. Great usage of media distortions and lighting. Clarity is great as well as the Dof, and great color. Attention grabber for sure.

Comment from julika


Deserves a six - but have not got any....this image has so many messages !! But difficult to discuss these and their symbolism without getting into philophy of religion -
It is a most dramatic shot....The transition of blues at the top to the burning reds - to the final alost white-hot- at the bottom of the image. Striking composition. The cross almost fills the frame but leaves enough background for the viewer to really take in the scene. Interesting effect at the edges of the upper part of the cross. This is image gives " food for thought ".Thank you for your creation.

Very powerful image. Fire and ice. The heat of the reds and the coolness of the blues plus the image of the cross makes a very strong statement.
