This is a great portrait, interesting face intent in prayer with the image of Our Lady in the frame. I also like the sepia and find the whole picture unusual and very appealing.

Beautiful capture and very good story telling ability. Sharpness is very good and good choice to present the picture in black and white. Good overall composition and thanks for sharing!

This is a lovely portrait of the Mayan woman praying to Our Lady of Guadalupe. The lighting is perfect, and the contrast is excellent. The composition is great with the statue of Our Lady in the left background

What a great shot! Good luck in the contest, this should be a strong contender. At first I didn't care for the bright spot around her face, but on closer viewing, it gives the Madonna a halo effect that adds to the whole feeling. Donkeyoatey

Thank you for your supportive review. The photo of the Madonna is not of the original but of an faded copy with only blue and black left of it.

I haven't reviewed in such a long time - and the first one to grab me gets a six. This work is an artist's dream reference. The side profile and close-up with just excellent sharpness and clarity. I think your composition is well suited to the contest. Her expression almost seems that she is reciting a prayer. Very well done Cleo - best wishes for the contest.

Thank you so much for your great review and the amazing number of stars. I appreciate it very much. I believe she is reciting a prayer. The photo was shoot throughout a procession.
