I like the subject and the story telling quality. Very complex subject showing good clarity and good composition. Very detailed and clear and I like the fade out of the virgin. Good luck in the contest.

This is a lovely composition. Great black and white compulation. Lots of emotion and feeling deep in this shot. Excellent cropping to illuminate only what we need to see. Wonderful story telling. Great job. Thanks for sharing. Also thanks for the background information.

This is a really beautiful photograph and work of art. I like what you did here. The composition was very creative and it really works for the topic at hand...actually it stands alone on its own anyway.
Good luck in the contest.

This is a beautiful photograph and a superb entry for the contest. I like the background, it really adds to the beauty of the photo. Your notes were both interesting and informative. I wish you the best in the contest too.

Her conviction in her prayer is perfectly captured in this picture. The fervour leaps through the picture.Your presentation not in colour is a plea to seek the Light that brings colour. Is it not Light that gives colour? The interest shown to pass on what you know in your notes, perhaps is a result of prayer :)

Impact 5
Composition 5
Colour 5
Technique 5
Nice mixed media work, like the combining of the images.
Removing the colour also makes the photo more sombre, and giving that sense of prayer.
Like the close up of the lady, there is plenty of detail.
Good luck in the comp, (have entered as well), Mark

Comment from focaldot
This is interesting portrait, but still i would have like to see some space on left hand side, and would have cloned, or cropped slightly from right hand side. Other than that its nice portrait. Well done and all the best.

Thank you a lot. Cloning on the right doesn't work. The lady looks as if she is naked. I didn't have more room on the left. There was to much in the way, so I had to go close. But I guess I could have made the picture wider with the program wile merging the Virgin of Guadalupe in. Just didn't think for it.

You can crop slightly from right hand side to remove that piece, and on left, you can increase the canvas size :)

I'll try it. Thank you.

What a lovely photo. It really does tell a story. I like the lighting and the detail. I also like "Our Lady" blended in the background. By making the photo in black and white it suits the subject.
