 Seven playing cards create this family dwelling. A house of cards, all hearts. The miniature is of a mother and child, and I simply ran out of time to paint it.

Alternate titles:
An Empty House is Not a Home.

I can't really tell what that little figuring is, which makes it distracting. It kind of looks like a little pewter girl, but I'm not sure. She's awefully dark and small. doesn't seem to fit in well with the cards. I think if it were not there, it wouldn't hurt the photo at all in my opinion. I like the card tower, and there are definately 7 cards. focus appears good, and there is nothing distracting in the background. ~Heather~

Maybe this would have been better using only sevens for the visible cards and having a different light angle to show the insides of the 4 cards.

That figure doesn't add to the picture. I know that's what makes up your title, but the picture would have worked better without it.

The figure is too dark. But I do like the creativity.

I like your use of lighting and shadow in this shot. Nice photo.

neat. probably would like to see a different angle. something about the horizontal card not being horizontal doesn't work for me.
