Nice subject matter. My only negatives would be that the window is a little washed out which makes it a bit distracting to the rest of the photo. It took me a second to find focus on the man praying. Beautiful church.

This picture is very nice. I love your composition, and while I don't care for the blown out window, I understand why you decided to do it. Great use of natural lighting in doors! Very calming and nice photo. - 9

The picture is so enriched with your model! I really like the vastness of the space, with your subject seeming so small in contrast.

Moving photo. I wonder if some people will ding you for the overexposed window. I won't, cause I love it! Great decisions on the composition.

This shot is pretty high impact for me. I love the coloring that you chose, and love the repetition of the arches, and the lines of the ceiling beams and the pews. I did not notice until I looked at it for the third time, that there was a person in the shot!! I would have loved to have seen this in color. 9. lhall

Tis is a very powerful photograph. First from a composition point of view, you were off center when you took it and the praying man is also off center. That makes for a very interesting "triangle" between the man and the center of the arch. I think the best part of this photograph is the way the light is pouring through the windows over the alter, almost as if the presence of a spirit is filling the church. I am guessing that is the meaning of the title. Very well done.

Great composition and perfect in b&w with this sepia tone.Perfect focus. Perhaps I had made it a little bit darker to see more of the window. But I´m not sure, maybe the man than would be too dark. Overall a great job. (8)
