Hello Chris
A wonderful composition. Excellent control of light and nice play of lights. Great contrast. Choosing B & W is very appropriate for this photograph.
Best regards

Hi Chris
the lamps hit from the backlighting and the acute profile of arch grazed from the light, make of this photo an image still more intimate and mystical. this scene is watched having feared to disturb the man in prayer. the many clear details seem to embroider all the photo. very good job.
best regards Chris
ciao
