A contemporary crucifix
A contemporary cruciform
A crucifix for the 21st century
One of a series of images based on the crucifix
Created in Photoshop by combining some old shapes I had stored, the texture from one of my early images, and another shape from a portion of another early design, which I isolated, reduced the size and then replicated. It took only five layers, most of which were in Normal mode and one in Soft Light. It is good to be able to use some old, failed images.
For the “God’s Signature” challenge. As soon as I read that there was to be a ‘God’s Signature’ challenge, this tree immediately came to mind. I call it the Cruciform Tree. It is a well-known tree in Malta. it is situated on the main road we refer to as ‘Rabat Road’. People sometimes light a candle or two, or place flowers at this extraordinary tree. For this picture, I lightened the ‘cruciform’ slightly so it would be more visible. No manipulations to the actual tree at all. This is a sculpture of nature. To me this truly is God’s signature! The below is a link to another image of this tree. My dear RB friends, I appreciate your comments greatly! I prefer to reciprocate them rather than thank you individually so please do not be offended by my lack of replies here. I shall be commenting on your work instead. Thank you all… Astrid x
Another shot of what I call the Cruciform Tree. This tree is a sculpture of nature. It is situated in Malta, vicinty of Rabat on the main road leading to it from the direction of Attard. I posted this one in addition th my previous BW shot because it shows the actual tree better I think. Just to prove to you its a real tree :) The below is a link to the BW image. There are absolutely no manipulations in this shot. Just the standard tweaking of colour and levels.
I would really like to thank all of you who voted for the Cruciform Tree to be the October avatar in the group ‘For the Love of Jesus’. / ...
I would really like to thank all of you who voted for the Cruciform Tree to be the October avatar in the group ‘For the Love of Jesus’. It is not so much my victory as the Lord’s because now more people will be able to get a glimpse of this awesome tree. The comments you all wrote are so appreciated! Thank you all again! Marie and co-host/s, keep up the good work with this wonderful group! Astrid xxx /
