As you know, I know nothing about haikus, but I like this very much.

It has such a feeling of peace about it. I can see a man kneeling in prayer.

    Thank you so much, Yvonne. I'm so pleased you like it. I found the topic very difficult so I'm very pleased with the responses I've received.Thanks so much again. All the best. Ulla:)))

While I enjoyed reading this lovely and well presented short poem, Ulla, I'm wondering what qualifies it as being a haiku? It contains no discernable kigo, or seasonal reference. At least not that I could tell.
Perhaps simply changing or word or two might suffice. For example:
hands entwined
below his starlit face
silent prayer

Other than that, I felt is was a lovely poem and painted a very vivid visual image.

Hola guapisima, como estas? I love your haiku. It's very well composed. The presentation is lovely and I like the picture. Lines one and two connect well.
