[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This lady was worshipping the God in Basilica Minore del Sto Nino, one the biggest Cathedral in Cebu, on the last Sunday before Christmas.

I like the lighting effect on the lady in Church (the background was darkened with Workshop). Her devotional express was also very impressive.

pp work: cropped, darkened the background including the window, adjusted the levels, NeatImaged, USM sharpened

Are you there in Manila Tony? I used the lit candles inside these churches and pray for love ones.

Great picture and a nice moment to capture.

Merry Christmas!

Hello Antony,
I like this shot for the "matter of fact" attitude of the lady has in her devotion. Very purposeful but nice too. See you around.

Great shot, Antony! The light is superb and creates a very nice mood. Lots of nice details as well. Excellent!

Phantastic, I love this motive, Tony.
Such a silent and peaceful atmosphere.
Have a wonderful Christmas-time and may all your wishes come true in 2006, bye

Beautiful picture, Antony, with lots of emotion coming from the lady in the front. Nicely composed to show all of the people lighting candles and beautiful light. Excellent!

Sorry, I have run out of green smile!

Gorgeous, meaningful shot, Antony. The lady is so graceful and her absorbed expression is wonderful.

Merry Christmas!
Gayle :)
