The posterized sky is a very cool touch. With all the empty space in the northeast quadrant, I don't see the need for the text to encroach on the cross atop the church. Making "Malta" bigger or a different font might be more 'postcardier.'
Text should be larger and white against a dark background. Not a very exciting font anyway.

Made the wings by warping, rotating and duplicating the rope source several times. Most work done by hand matching the colours, lightning, shadows etc. from other pictures. (5 years and 3312 days ago)
Very cool piece. My only suggestion would be to eliminate the shadow on nthe archway from the cross. The light source is from above(note the shadows on the chest). Nice use of the source too.
Interesting, but would be more so with an SBS which might help explain the lighting on his chest. I personally don't get the point of the stone fence and would just delete it. I think the title overdescribes the image IMO. (I could see an angel as a soldier of God, but as a soldier of abstract 'faith' seems too much to me.)
I went to very abstract lightning as we can see here, that's why the shadow of the cross (more dramatic imo that way) and also the "minor angel of light" on the chest. And what comes to the title, I personally believe many people have (and fight for) a faith that has no God behind it. I didn't make it overly political or anything, just a simple young man fighting for (his own) faith.
Thanks for the comments, Pingenvy and Dan, highly appreciated.

THE BEATLES lyrics - Eleanor Rigby
(Lennon/McCartney)
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
Father McKenzie writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near
Look at him working, darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there
What does he care?
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Eleanor Rigby died in the church and was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father McKenzie wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave
No one was saved
All the lonely people (Ah, look at all the lonely people)
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people (Ah, look at all the lonely people)
Where do they all belong?
*3 in 5 elderly women over 75 live ALONE. Women are more likely than men to be widowed and so be without a spouse who could potentially care for them.

Very nice work here, touching.
Nice atmospheric image, I don’t think the shadow is quite right, I’m no lighting expert but from my thinking the shadow should be out in front and at 45 degrees to the old lady smaller at the feet and tapering away.
not bad, not bad at all
That means we live longer than men, we bear the hard times much more than men... We are NOT the fragile sex! Women are strong indeed... Which man would bear the pain of a delivery??? 
Very delicate entry, author!
Great work on the lighting
GL!
