This photo, Peter's catch of fish depicted in Luke's Gospel, has a rough sketch effect laced onto it as well as a number of enhancements that enabled the shadowed face and body. Christ, standing on the shore, is encouraging the man in shadow next to the multitude on his right. There is little to say about the character of Peter's expression, nor the decision to have his hand raised in dismissal. The honest truth is that this picture originally was meant to be Padre Pio, when it morphed an attempt on St. Benedict, when it in turn morphed into St. Peter after a failed attempt to draw a cross in his left hand; which you now see as rope. It goes to show you that you ought to make something out of what you originally thought was nothing, so that every piece of work finds significance.
