Oh I see, there are seats in the foreground! Dam (oh well, drat, darn, doh!)... to dull to see the first time I looked, I had to read a comment befor I noticed them.
Nice composition. The shot is a bit overbright in front, and dark and grainy in the rear, though; I almost missed the man in the back pew, and he adds quite a bit of emotional interest to the shot. Good try!
compositionaly okay, technically bad. Turn down the lighting inthe foreground a bit, turn it up in the background and sharpen the focus. are you preaching to us or making a work of art?
Nice rendering of the wood texture. The red light along the edge of the Bible's pages is disturbing because this would normally be white, and the green border clashes with the colors in the photo.
Maybe if you had propped the bible up a bit or taken the shot from above this would of had more snap. The camera is about on the same plane as the bible. Sorry.
