[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The picture does lack focus & sharpnes and i wanted to delete it, but there was something in this face that i liked-
ancient beauty and wisdom.

Hi Elena

I think this shot would be much better with a faster shutter.

A Photographer's Note would be nice.

regards

Hi Elana,
I think this may have been a situation where you may have felt awkward in taking this shot & took a quick shot,to hopefully capture this subjects strong posture & facial & body action,but IMHO it does lack focus & sharpnes. If it was your intention to capture it this way, perhaps a short note, to assist someone like me understand it properly ,would have been helpful.Since I'm probably wrong in my critiquing I will not score it, but rather give a no rating status instead

dear Lena,
the focus is not so important for photos,
his expression is really interesting and suggestive,
in the motion, or blurred scene, we actually see the essence of objects.
in my feeling, he looks humorous, and it is needed to the priest in church.
and the side face of right lady is also expressive to him.
thank you for your excellent shot,
Akihisa

hello Elena
i like the expression of the priest face and the effect from long exposure makes it look like some expresionistic painting
very good!
