The Blessed Virgin Mary

| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
The Blessed Virgin Mary, sometimes shortened to The Blessed Virgin or The Virgin Mary, is a traditional title used by most Christians and most specifically used by liturgical Christians such as Roman Catholics, Anglicans, Eastern Orthodox and Eastern Catholics, and some others to describe Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ.
Since the first century, devotion to the Virgin Mary has been a major element of the spiritual life of a vast number of Christians, primarily in Catholicism. From the Council of Ephesus in 431 to Vatican II and Pope John Paul II's encyclical Redemptoris Mater, the Virgin Mary has come to be seen not only as the Mother of God but also as the Mother of the Church, a Mediatrix who intercedes to Jesus Christ and even a proposed Co-Redemptrix.
The key role of the Virgin Mary in the beliefs of many Christians, her veneration, and the growth of Mariology have not only come about by the Marian writings of the saints or official statements but have often been driven from the ground up, from the masses of believers, and at times via reported Marian apparitions, miracles and healings.

This was another shot I did during the Holy Week. It was taken after our procession during Soledad. This is "The Blessed Virgin Mary : Queen of Heaven and Earth".
This was a bit hard to shoot but this was atleast a bit shorter that the other statue/image that were used.
Gamma & contrast adjusted, sharpened and framed using Photo Filtre.
I know this doesn't look good but an honest critique I will accept. Atleast I'll be able to learn more to improve.
Thank you! |

ok the honest opinion is that it is not bad at all it is good.only face is over exposed and these big lights in front if you clonn off them it will be ok.perhaps 4.5 is a little wider exposure.try it in the range of 5 or 5.6.TFS
You know for the camera you're using, this isn't bad at all. The shutter was slow but the image is sharp, there are no background distractions so it stands out.
I still don't know if it is a particularly dramatic or interesting subject, but the capture is ok.
Perhaps you could remove the object to the right of the statue, using the clone tool?
I'll WS an alternative crop.

it's a nice shot with good colors.. just a li'l bit over exposure on the face..
