It is my second idea for this challenge and I think the better one. Was thinking the whole day how to do it and then it took just a few minutes to make a setup and press the button with my remote control. Editing - levels, curves, USM, crop with black bg, 1 pixel border line.

This was a stunning shot. Congratulations on your high marks. I just visited your portfolio and am very impressed. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.
Thank you very much for all your comments. I am glad to make "best 10". And I am happy that I managed to make that effect of obviosity. That a lot of people thought from the first look that there were THREE paintings and only then realised Where was my Waldo. And yes, BradP and kiwiness, you saw that "model" on my "Peeping Tom" shot and on the author's photo on my profile page LOL. In this picture there is no editing except correcting levels a bit, USM and crop. So, no cloning or dodging, anyway it is not alowed in basic editing LOL.
Really creative idea. The woman really fits the look and moos of the other two pictures. I like your approach to the challenge. Sometimes the best way to hide somethign is to make it blatantly obvious. The perspectives work very well, I think it was really hard to get that right. The lighting is well done, too: the pictures have no distracting glares, and the person looks as if she was independent of the overall lighting. ...You didn't use a photo after all, did you? ;) Great shot. Your shot being so different owes you a few extra points. I give you a ten.
I really like the concept, nicely done. Maybe you could have put a different background behind the woman and maybe a frame on one of the paintings to make it blend in more.
nice creative. I think it's one of the best shots creatively. It's a little dim for my taste, but I like the "waldo's right in front of you" approach. 8
Really, really nice! You made it especially interesting by making each frame, or lack thereof, so different, but the time period of the "paintings" appears intended to be similar. 10.
