What an intriguing photo. I'm really taken with the composition of this photo. The black and white color makes it feel very soulful. Beautiful work you have created here!

Loved reading the story. The photo is captivating with the way you have captured the ladies face and then combined the two photos to tell the story. Being black and white gives a gentle touch which I think you would have lost in colour. Just about can hear her chanting her prayers. Very well done thanks for sharing all.

Excellent close-up. The tones are perfect. Love the image of Mary in the back ground. I bet this woman has some stories to tell. Great capture :-)

Really effective use of photoshop and additional filters. Really well pieced together that certainly holds a story,simplistic but mammoth in the result

    Thank you for your complimentary review. I don't have photoshop. I used Digital Image Suite.

I think this should do well as a "faith in photograpy" contest entry. You've done well combining these two images into a compelling whole.

This is very beautiful. I really like the closeup of her face, and that it looks like she is in the middle of a prayer by her lip positioning. Wonderful presentation, Cleo. Best wishes in the contest.

This is a wonderful presentation of this woman praying. It conveys a great softness and intention.

The detail and the merging of the two images is extremely effective
