Carrying the Cross

Great artwork dear Sir:) many thanks!
Seen this in some other threads, and it's time to comment. I love it. Bob has combined Alice and Koshka, a set of hard faced Romans, and Morten's Vivien in an evocative scene that is all too believable. Every figure is perfect for the scene, and with framing and depth of field Vivien emerges as the subject of the story. Her visible breasts and outstretched arms give a hint to what is to come as she looks into the distance, perhaps at the execution place itself. There will be no mercy to be found here, only pain and suffering.

Beautiful work, Bob.
That's a great work, using a perspective one doesn't often see. Excellent work on the depth of field with a sharper focus on Vivien. This is a very nicely atmospheric image
I mean, I know it's early in the morning and he might prefer to be in bed, but the legionary on the right could look a bit more cheerful... :rolleyes:

Alice? Koshka? AND Vivian? Lucky bugger. He ought to be looking as though he's won the lottery!

If it makes you feel better, you miserable Roman git, I'm looking as if I've won the lottery, with such a marvellous image to admire! :)
Love this!!! ❤️
No mistake! That IS the cheerful look of a well trained and well disciplined legionary!:D
He's just strictly business. He will smile a bit when his charges have been nailed, raised, and are slowly dying naked on their crosses.
Cheer up ladies, your almost there and you won't have to carry that damn log much longer ! heheheheheheehehe
It will be carrying you!
Many thanks to everyone for the positive responses. This was an interesting experiment in lighting and depth of field techniques, and I'm glad it has been so well received. :)
 
I don't know, maybe it's because I never carried a cross, but it's been a fantasy of mine to carry a cross to a place of torment. To experience the torture it must bring as you walk before the mob.

It is just part of the disgraceful torment you should suffer before you are nailed and displayed naked on the cross... it is only proper to show you this way to your friends and neighbors.

Yes, Tree, you're right, I'm a terrible woman and need to be punished in front of the whole town.

They make me carry the cross all the way through the town. I listen to the jeers from the mob. They throw stones and spit at me. As we reach the edge of town, I see the hill I have to climb, and then, when we reach the top, my real torment will begin.

How does it feel to be mocked and jeered, naked, exposed, and humiliated?
