Bu fotoğrafın anlamını ben çözemedim...
Acaba çok mu derin bir söylemi var?...

By itself, this is a good photo: attractive subject, unique pose and effective composition. You even handles what appears to be harsh, overhead sunlight well. I like the blurred background to give some context and the reflections in the woman's sunglasses.

But the photo isn't by itself, it's accompanied by the title "In The Name of God" and your note, "We sure love him." In my opinion, this photo doesn't really convey what the title and note are saying. There's a disconnect here. If the background building was easily identifiable as a church or mosque, it might work. I can't quite tell what the tower is reflected in the girl's sunglasses, but in any case it's too obscure to provide real context.

Certainly worthy of a smiley, but I think the photo falls a little short of the intention. All this in my humble opinion, of course. It's entirely possible that others get it, and I'm just blind to it.
