congrats Ben, beautiful painterly photo! Now, I know it was good for the challenge to have something in focus, but for the sake of art, I'd prefer to have everything blurred here... actually, you can still do it in PP if you decide to make a print :)

Deposition of Mary
by LevT

Comment:
Michelle, while it is not possible to tell from the photo, she is indeed coming down, that's why it's called "Deposition of Mary" (allusion to the classical theme of "Deposition of Christ" by Fra Anjelico, Raphael, Rubens, and many others)

as for the guy laying down, unfortunately I only noticed him in the photo... :) Typically these side structures are tombs of rich and/or famous people, but it looks like there the body was embalmed and preserved for all to see. Or maybe it is just a statue of him ... I don't know... As I mentioned before, in Mexico, they have an odd relationship with their dead.

thank you Germaine! The reason I added these thick borders is that it looks so much better on black background...
