So I really like the way this came out, but I'd like to hear what others have to say about it. I'm thinking of donating a 13x19 of this to the church it's of, and then make prints available to the parishioners - only if your critiquing (not critical) eye deems it worthy.

If steroids are illegal for athletes, should PS be illegal for models?

I like the compassion, the conversion, a lot about this... just not the HDR - and the halo effect. Some really like it.... I am not a big fan. Perhaps a little less sharpening as well.... but overall, if you are happy with it, there is nothing wrong really with.

It isn't HDR. It's a single exposure that I did a double processing of Silver EFX on. I noticed the halo also, but left it cause I was thinking halo=angel. Maybe I should work out the halo?

Definitely don't go with the halo= angel idea. This image has a lot of potential

I can see hallo-ing around the top of the steeple, and the right side of the cross. Anywhere else?

For the intended purpose, I think it looks great. You probably don't have a lot of photo critics at church.
It's a powerful image and I wouldn't worry about the slight halo. However if you have a high-quality color version you might post or link to it here and others may have some different takes on it if you are interested in that.

Looks like you've given me something to do tonight..... I ran it through Silver EFX almost immediately after opening it. Here is the original in color, with just a little processing.

I'm thinking something like this...

With a higher res version I'd get rid of the haloing etc. :)
