| Comment by Martynas - A magnificent portrait! And I have no problem with priest enjoying heavenly glass of whiskey and having a smoke, and a wife and 10 children. It would be much more normal on my mind, if they would just be allowed to be human, as is what they are. Kudos, James! |

Comment by Hania - If a portrait presents a priest (does it?), I would like to add something to the discussion.
I never identified the priests as hypocritical degenerates although every rule has exceptions. My personal experience is different. Think that such a message, when trying to generalize, would be unfair.
From photographic point of view, in my opinion the picture is a masterpiece. |

| Comment by Lorraine54 - Beautiful light to enhance this lovely view, the sky is so nice. I especially love this area here [^1274;477;1], I am still debating if I prefer with the right hand side cropped a little to take out these trees [^1814;491;1] .. so far yes is winning.. lol.. Congrats on a very nice image though. |

| Comment by Hazel4 - What a terrific shot, lighting, pose, drama - this has it all. Being clergy just makes this more wonderful - those little vices & he's doing em - cracks me up! |

Comment by Mark Polis - This looks like you took another shot of her and used it as a bg monochrome layer, Bas.
Novel idea, but in this case I don't think the "reflection" is complimentary to this very pretty young lady with red hair and gorgeous blue/green eyes. Just my opinion.

Comment by Reinhard Becker - I would crop a lot to set the viewers focus to the face and to the person behind.
About the reflection: Is it the same person? Could be her mother (sorry if I´m wrong). So what do you want to say? |

| Comment by Tim Pereira - #9 James Gordon: I agreed with you on organized religion. And I'm not looking at this shot and judging it on the smoking. This is really well done! |

Comment by B2O - #2 Mark Polis: Your absolutely right if you want more attention to the dram Mark. It gives certainly a special kind of thinking towards the combination of the title Heavenly and a cigarette and a dram.
How heavenly is a dram and a cigarette....?
