Hallo Keitaro!
A beautiful picture and in combination with your note an interesting one. The row of candles (or oil lamps) leading to the man works very well. I think children of today need prayers more than ever before ...Greetings from warm (not hot) and sunny Germany!

Hi Keitaro! Nice one, i like very much the difference of colours, over the candle orange colour and over a man light blue, it looks perfect for me! Great picture!

Hello Keitaro,
Nice composition leading the eyes ti the man. Like the warm colors. Well done. Thanks for sharing, Michael
