Corey, Greetings from the Critique Club };-)
Initial thoughts
Beautiful church, meets the challenge, I like the Sepia feel.
Composition/ Content
I like this shot a lot. The way the light is hitting the person in the rear of the church is great although I'm not sure that didn't hurt your score as the light almost shows the opposite of despair. I like the framing too.
Background
The way the back wall is lit is excellent but once again takes away from the person which is really the focal point for this challenge.
Camera Work - Technical
Focus seems good and contrast is excellent for the difference in light and shadow you have here. I don't know whether you made it Sepia in camera or in Post Processing but it is the right choice especially for the challenge.
Digital Processing - Technical
Everything seems good.
Fits The Challenge
If there was more of a focus on the person, perhaps closer showing grief or praying, I think this would have done better.
My Opinion On The Photo
I originally scored this shot a seven. I think that it meets the challenge well but can see why everyone wouldn't think so. Good job, and keep up the good work.
I would be happy to talk further about this shot if you would like to contact me.

| nice tone and use of light but i don't see what it has to do with despair (unless one is cynical). |

| it would be nice to see the person praying up close instead of a nice shot of the church interior |

I like the way the person is almost sitting in a spot of light.

| A beautiful church! The photo is a bit dark in some spots and a little more brightness would do it justice. Perhaps you may want to study how the light enters the church throughtout the day. A different time frame may give you a better photo |

| I try to get despair from this picture, but I have a hard time. I'm sure you mean that the person sitting there must be in some despair. The whole picture is so overwhelmed by the beautiful architecture of the church, the message is weak. |

| I'm not sure about the despair in this image all by itself. But very well framed and nice use of sepia. 6 |

| A very nice photo with a lot of interest. Tones and lines are wonderful. The dark shadows work for me. I'm not sure it says "despair", other than the title, and it could use a little sharpening. |
