Thank you! I am honored, never been picked first before, and would never have hoped in such a tough round.
I notice mostly the sinners are the winners, how ironic. :)

You deserve it! The sinners rule because, as I count it, some 2/3 of the entries were on the sin side. I believe what made yours so good, besides the technical merit of the photo, was that it was a mix if the two, the sinner being virtuous in asking forgiveness in prayer.. Titled differently, this could also display the virtue of total faith, someone praying when no one else is bothering...

Actually, what amazed me from down under, was the fact that most entries went so religious for virtue - since there are so many facets of human-ness involved with sin and virtue - it was almost like humans can have little virtue

how amazing!!!

we as beasts have our moments, but we're not all that bad really!!!!
