Hi Bernard,
Excellent work you have here. Normally, I don't like center subjecs, but with this one, I think it works. The blur effect you used really sets an eerie mood. Yes, I said "eerie." For me, this image looks a little "spooky." It must be how I view the church. Plus, the large size of the cross to the woman kneeling looks imposing. The simple black border you used is a good match, not overpowering. Overall, a mysterious image you have made. Excellent!

It's a pity of the plastic bag (and you could do nothing about it, I know...) but the scene is great. Very well composed and the soft light is heavenly, nice done !

Très belle prise, très émouvante, dans beaucoup de pays la piété est restée vivace alors qu'elle se perd dans nos régions. Et ici tu as bien capturé l'essence de la prière, l'intense communication qu'a cette dame avec Dieu, c'est très bien fait!
Bravo!
Claude

C'est excellent et bien pensé de mettre le fond en flou.
Bien équilibrée de partout c'est une très belle image, marquante.

A touching photo Bernard, I wish she wasn't holding the plastic bag but you couldn't do anything about that.

Stunning work. The blur was a great idea. Very nice composition, and excellent subject.
One of my favourites.
