 The Virgin Mary light is reflected in a mirror which creates two samples.
Pretty basic, messed around with brightness & contrast a bit and the auto levels. That's it really. Oh, and i cropped it a little.

Also, I'm not really the most religous person but I found this in my mother's garage and I know many people find her to be very sacred :)

Hmmmm this is a tough critique, I really want to like but I'm not sure if it for fear of going to hell if I don't. It's a bit off on focus It looks as though you may have burned the little guys head too much although your breakdown says different. It lacks detail and solid eye catching anything. I'm sorry but I feel this photo is bad. This is my opinion so you can take it for what it's worth. Ive shot thousands of bad pics I just think this could not have been photod in any way that would have made it pleaseing. Please keep going and try again. Sorry I had to write it this way I just seen no other way.

Not sure I like the black background. Interesting subject.

This shot doesn't really work for me, maybe if it just focused on one of the statues it wouldve worked better.
