Mary Magdalene is one of several women who followed and "provided for" Jesus of Nazareth during his traveling ministry, according to Christian scriptures. She is also variously portrayed in other ancient texts, medieval legends and modern interpretations as a reformed prostitute, a rich person, a disciple with special gifts and authority, and a model of feminism. Brief direct references to her in the Gospels, the first four books of the New Testament, indicate her importance. She is among the women present at Jesus' execution who later discover his empty tomb, and is the first person to whom he appears after his resurrection. Some Christians also identify her with unnamed women elsewhere in the Gospels, such as the "sinner" who anoints him with costly oil, or one caught in adultery whom he saves from stoning. The mother of Jesus is a different Mary.
"Magdalene" means "of Magdala," a fishing village (modern-day Migdal) on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee in Israel. She is sometimes called "the Magdalene"... The Bible does not say she was a prostitute. All it mentions of her past is that Jesus had cast seven demons out of her.

I took a shot of this just this Holy Week (April 10) after the "Pagkita" or Soledad here at our village. There were only three holy statues that were left used during the Soledad. But during the procession, after the "Veneration of the Cross" mass there were many statues used but I wasn't able to take pictures of them.
This Holy Image/statue is Mary Magdalene. I was having difficulty taking shots of this because it was too high for me. I did my best to reach for this one. |

Hello my friend
Well I'm going to be honest - I'm sure that's what you want! :)
Often the greatest skill a photographer can show is knowing when not to take a photo.
If you know that the angle is bad, or the light is not good, sometimes it's better to stop and think 'how else could I do this?'
In all honesty I also think the frame is not good, there's no reason to use red and it distracts from the rest of the image.
Concentrate on what you know your camera can do, keep your shots simple, keep them safe, and I think you will start to find your niche.
Rew
the dark blue robe with white flowers in foreground and the sparking crown make this shot amazing.The red color I tend to disagree with Rew is looking magnificient.I think its a good job done.Keep it up
