7 - Met the Challenge (based on that IS a real drawing and her hands therefore are a tool also). I like this concept and also the composition. Criticism; I would like to see the shadow of the statue if that were possible. I like the b/w but do wonder (given the simplicity of the composition) how this would have worked in color, or even sepia, the b/w may be just a LITTLE 'washed out', not sure. For me, less of the artist and more of the 'subjects', would make this a better picture. By default that should also give more definition on the pencil?, which I would like to see. This photograph has a nice 'mood' to it and I like the lighting although I would like to see it a fraction darker. If the focus was on the drawing I think it would 'lift' it a little and make this a better photograph (not sure), in my opinion. Original.
Very nice idea. I really like the creativity. Excellent perspective and composition. My observation...I think that using a drawing pad would have been more appropriate. The only spiral notebooks that I've seen have lines. Otherwise, everything else is perfect with this picture.
