This photograph is aesthetically beautiful but also has so much meaning in other aspects. Photography wise, the framework does so much to exhibit a captured moment and enclosed picture. It gives the church concealment and enables it to be closed off with the gates. I love three crosses because it shows repetition which is easily a great feature that some photographers like to subtly throw into their pictures. I think it gives it dimension. Also, there is of course religious symbolism with the three crosses: The holy trinity. I'm not sure if the photographer was Christian himself, but he definitely caught on to the religious symbolism here.
The sun from above signifies Christ washing over the church and all of its church-goers. I love the lighting. It really adds a sense of clarity and peace to the photograph. I think it was picked very cleverly because a late afternoon/ nighttime setting wouldn't have worked so well. I really love the steps leading up to the church because it leads your eyes right to the destination and allows you to focus in on the white cross in the middle. All in all, this was a phenomenal picture in my eyes; one that you'd scarcely find because of its rare beauty, lighting, and form.
