NICE shot Regmar. Only thing that could make this better would be for the bright light in the window to be out, but even so, the black and white is perfect here, and what a great dramatic scene. Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful image!! Great shot, i like it.Well done.

very nice shot
really great effects

Great shot...and nice humour ;)

Nice Shot! Was this shot taken around New Orleans? :c)

Actually it (like "Morning Prayers") was shot at Manresa Retreat House for Men about 45 minutes outside New Orleans on the Mississippi River. I am heeding your advice, Piner. Every year I make a retreat there, and prowl the grounds (1 mile by 1/2 mile) for about three days shooting photos and downloading them to my laptop in my free time. It's amazing how beautiful this place is. The Jesuits run it, and they have an amazing aesthetic sense. You could throw your camera up in the air, and it would come down with four award-winning shots.

beautiful shot regmar ^^

yes thats interesting only thing would be the window but thats not bad at all but like the idea and the contrast. worth a few hours of sleep?

Thanks for the suggestion about the window, but except for minor rotations I don't like to do any post-production work on my photos. They stand pretty much as they were taken. Too much of the film photographer still in me maybe? I don't know. Maybe I'll try to get it next year :-)

Thanks again for the complements and suggestions

Great picture Regmar. Black n white is perfect for this image but I agree with the others about the window. However I am impressed.

Great image! Black and white images are always brilliant! Same about the window, apart from that well done!
