He seems slightly our of focus compared with his environment - just slightly: there's that blurrinness about his face somehow.

This is just such a pleasing portrait...I think it's the smile, so genuine and warm.

This is very nice, just what an environmental portrait should be - it shows this clergyman in his element. I really like it a lot. It would be nice if his face was in a bit sharper focus but I think this is worth a 10!

Well done!

Nice but not really 100% fond of the lighting on the priest, I normally love shadows but the one on the right side of his face just doesn´t seem to fit with the rest of the shot in my opinion. Still above average in the challenge, 6 from me.

nicely done

The flowers are blown out and with a little less depth of field this could have been nice

Nice balance of subject to background.

Good lighting and great smile.

this is a fine portrait with all composition pulling together

WOW! I love it.

Nice light and warm smile. A narrower DOF would have helped.

Good environmental portrait. So many have disappointed, this works. I would consider next time just adjusting your composition slightlty as he is to the left of centre and looking out of frame. That means all the good stuff behind him are lost to the image

can't beat church lighting.

I love it - 8 from me
