...and Christ extended his arms, calling all the animals to him

I'm not religious at all, but I live in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and yesterday took this picture of Christ the Redeemer statue.

As I picked up my camera, some birds flew past me, and I took this picture. How you guys like it?

I rather like it; the birds provide a unique perspective. Nicely shot.

I find it unique.
In my humble opinion, this is a strong image.
I'm not into all the artsy smartsy technicalities about why I like it.
When I look at an image, I ask myself if I would hang it on my wall and show my friends.
I already know if I find it visually appealing, or not.

I would hang this on my wall, and I would show it.

It is a great image! I wish there were some additional hilights detail, and maybe a very subtle shadow detail - but there is only so much latitude available to you.

But yes, this is a fantastic image even as is. If you are a church goer, perhaps it would make a good gift for your minister.
