Eric's challenge 36

[Eric&Susan]

The rain finally let up enough to go out and try my idea for this challenge. This is a cross in the parking lot of St Anthony's Church just down the street. Lit by a big flash light on the ground pointing up and at an angle.

Same cross different view. I added a little noise to this to help with the texture:

To me they both look a little OOF but I can't tell if it's just the way the cross is or if it's my mistake? Comments? Suggestions? Critiques? Fell free to say anything.

Thanks,

Eric

Eric-
The first one looks slightly OOF, but the second one looks fine on my monitor. I definitely prefer the second one with the detail you brought out.
