Forms of Prayer

I've been wokring on a photo project in Vietnam for the past month and have been following religion and forms of prayer closely. Below are three images of people praying. If possible, please give me some feedback.

If you are interested in more information about my project or would like to support me, please visit my Kickstarter page or follow my blog.

The second one is definitely my favorite, the lightning is great and the composition is fantastic. I like the subject of the first one, but the three bright lights sort of take the focus away from the people praying (maybe that's what you were going for?). Nice shots though, I'd like to see more!

Thanks. I have another shot with less flare.

2nd one is the one i like best

Great shots. Let me add one I just found while scouting out local locations. This old man was outside the church in Guasti, in 100 degree heat, praying. I liked the simplicity along with the background being very metropolitan. Emotional, it was.
