Yay! Thanks for the close-up peek.
Now how about the hands? Hehehe.
Not to negate the idea that this could be taking place in a church, but I have a different perspective. To me it looks like she is either in a bedroom, or somewhere else in her own house maybe resting her elbows on a table and is in deep thought.
It could be that there are clues that make me think this, like the red walls that are not too church like, or it could just be me personally because I am not a church-goer and I have a red dining room and a black metal bedframe.
Also, although she has her hands in the 'prayer' position, her head is not bowing which is how I usually picture a person in prayer.
OK, enough of me! I think this is technically great and really makes a connection between the viewer and the subject, even though it is a private scene.
