Congratulations on your Feature in the ABC E-Easter group. I really enjoyed the contrasts, peaceful and yet not. v/f
Cheri Randolph replied:
Omaste, Thanks so much for featuring this in the ABC Group! Your comment is correct, and is what I noticed about the scene. It is sort of a study in contrasts - color vs b&w, as well as trauma vs serene. Appreciate the v/f!

Ann, thanks for your thoughtful comment. Yes, everyone in the village would probably often walk past this shrine. I appreciate the f/v!

The proximity of the crucifix to the village must surely inspire and comfort the people who live in those cottages. Wonderful work, Cheri. f/v

Dramatic composition. Really tells a story about the people and the place. Nicely done!

Mick, appreciate your favorable compliment. You're correct it is a small community much influenced by their religious beliefs.
