Nice high key, but to me the connection to the challenge is a little weak

I've been coming back to this photo over and over again -- I just love the softness of it. So delicate!

Cool image. An alternate version that would work IMO would be to clone out the hair so you enhance that low key even more.

This is a very beautiful portrait... a bit too far from the theme....

Every time I revisit this photo I return to the eye lashes. Must be a fascination of some kind. Beautiful photo, and does have an almost spiritual element to it which is why I can't give it anything but a 10.

Amazing use of depth of field without loosing the nose and lips. Beautiful photo - I am envious of those eyelashes!

VERY nice photo, I just don't think it really meets the essence of the challenge.

I don't care for your title, but I love the picture. The softness and the eyes. I get the feeling she's praying, not sleeping. Nice.

This is a beautiful photo that brings a warm peaceful feeling to the viewer. I really think your choice of DOF just works so well here. Bravo from me and a 10.

Fabulous use of shallow DOF! A lovely picture, which is probably scoring way below five right now because people don't think it fits the challenge. Well, just to prove that not all DPCers are hopelessly narrow-minded, I'm giving you a 10!

I guess I want a picture of a holy place...not a thought of a holy place...

Interesting. Lovely high key photo, very nice. Not sure it has anything to do with your title (which is rather awkward).

This is a nice photograph but not sure how it is seen as a holy place.
