My Heavenly Father

Uploaded: March 18, 2017 04:55:17 | Entered: March 18, 2017 04:56:29

Description

A time for prayer for the fallen, for the strength to carry on. A moment in which even the doubters turn to Him.
A rework of an earlier work. Here I want to bring the focus in on the one man and blur out the rest. I wanted the picture to be about him and his moment of prayer.

Exif: F Number: 5.6, Exposure Bias Value: -0.67, ExposureTime: 1/125 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 400, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 300.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XSi
