Stigmata

Im not necessarily a religious person....I do however really enjoy religious imagery. Its pretty Brutal and quite depressing if you stop to look for more than 5 minutes.
I had a moment of clarity one night and an image similar to this popped into my head, the next day i set about re-creating what i envisioned.

I also entered this image into the Australian Better Photography Photo of the year awards and received a bronze award for it :-)
