is it symbolic (or not!!) ?
i wonder ;-)

JIMJIM said 569 days ago:

Well well (if it's you) I suppose It is ;-))

Well I believe that symbolism, or the symbolism that others read into an image, is important to the overall connection a viewer has with an image. So I hope that is a good thing. Of course I'm sure that depending on ones mood, religous beliefs (or lack of), the symbolism of this image could be read in completely different ways. For me I saw positive and inspirational symbolism when I took this. Hopefully the birds come across as a flock coming to the church or birds of peace and not "dirty pigeons" LOL.

Thank you for the feed-back and your clear input dc..as a viewer, I see the very strong symbolism approach (3 triangles, the cross, the birds...) but because of the down line (top down right) and maybe because it's a bit dark in tonality I can't see this image other than a bit depressive (like after WW2 feelin..) ! or maybe it's me LOL

Your welcome. I was thinking about that after WW2 feeling you mention and I would take it as hope after destruction in that case! I guess it is all in how you view the image and first impressions are the ones that stick. Thanks for your insight.
