I didn't gave any mark, becouse I don't have oppionion about this photo in Orthodoxy menning. And I have never said that I like this photo or not. I have only put commentar about cross on the spider. About this photo: maybe this is good attemp to show the fight betwen good and evil, maybe this photo can show power of Cross etc... I don't have intention to take philosphy.

All the welcome to new user!
But I think the photo does not have the spirit of Orthodox Christianity. I will not give any marks, as it is imposible to evaluate something I do not relate with Orthodoxy. Not this spirit. And Cosmin is right about Philokalia.

So, you and Jovana weren't serious when you said 'I like this photo' :-). Just tryied to be friendly with a newcomer..Bravo.

you are welcome apologet :)
gabriel you are taking things to serious and to direct ... Photography is art and like any other art photography have intention to make some impression, to transmit some feeling, ore some idea.
When we look this photo we feel very anxiously but this just mean that author did make good job. His intention was to signify this fight well known to all of us and he show as his vision of this fight. This vision is not pleasant but this fight is not pleasant too . Best regards to all :)

Jovana: The fallen angels are creation of God as well, but is not good to see them. Some people, especially girls, fell sick when see spiders, snakes, rats or other kind of creatures like this. A child could have nightmares if he will wake up with a spider on him. We should be realistic.

Cross on the light as symbol of our lord and all good what we have and black spider coming from the dark… all of that on the human skin as battleground of everyday war …. bravo again !

This cross on the spider leather is beautiful. Every living creature is God creation.

Orthodoxy is not well shown just on pictures of architecture ore on portraits ... Here we have brave and well done conceptual photography ... provocative but very good and with lot of orthodox spirit .

The Orthodoxy is "philokalia": love for spiritual beauty

I don't see the connection to the orthodoxy in this picture!
