Photographer's Note
I visited the church to pray since it was holy week and two days before Holy Friday. Inside the church of the Benedictine Monastery I saw a man in tears. He was kneeling down and praying silently. He was very well dressed and was even wearing a tie. He step out about three minutes ahead of me. When I stepped out of the church I saw him again by the cross near a forested downhill side of the church yard. That is when I decided to take his picture. I think he was a very penitent man

Great shot! I like the way you combined the two elements - the cross and the man. The man seems to be lost in thought, contemplating something, which we feel must be to do with life, death, religion or other related topic because of the presence of the cross. Excellent!

I think this is a very good shot. Its well composed and interesting. At first I thought the man was asleep, but after reading your note I can see that he was probably deep in thought.
Good work.

HI Andre,
Congratulation for this very special shot. You captured the moment that was deep and personal.
I may say this is the moment when the business manager realized that the life is not only about the money.
TFS!
