great shot.
i find the blood looking stain and the two pigeons at the bottom intriguing... the stain makes it look like there was a *story* behind what might have gone on beside the cross.

Wow... This shot is simply amazing. Very well captured. The symbolism really works.
I really like the way it doesn't look overly clean. More old and worn. The pidgeons are a great contrast on the light-colored background.
Some people might have cropped out the pidgeons on the bottom of the photo. I'm glad you didn't.
To me it symbolize that not all seek shelter in religion whenever times are hard. (sort of hard to explain in english)
Sorry for ranting

i shot a closer version without the bottom too, but it looked too clean and symmetrical, glad that you think the same way

That's a sweet shot, I bet it would look even better in black and white.

i tried it, but couldn't get a pleasing contrast without getting the wall too light or the pigeons too dark
and since the colors of both the wall and the pigeons are quite neutral, there was hardly a response from the color mixer
but then again, i was never good at b/w toning...
