What an exquisite photo! I love the contrast of the wine tablecloth with the wood. The lady and her outfit & tying the blue of her towel, the pitcher, and the pillow.
The only nit-pick I'd give is that the boxer almost blends into the background, and the shot is a bit dark over-all. |

Johanna, I gave this a 9. There was really no way to mark it otherwise among the multitude of family baby pics. Your work was tremendous. I'll PM you with more details.
Your model would be splendidly suited for a la maniere de Chardin (and using the same outfit!)

Shoulda used in the Free Study (unless you've already got something better there). This is a fantastic image and in the right challenge, is certainly ribbon-worthy.
Remember, voters don't live in "your world" ;-) |

ha fun. Love the lighting. There's no way my baby would sit still like this - especially if water is running :) |

Strange choice for challenge but not a bad shot. |

Great Vermeer-esque set up! I'd like to see softer lighting on the left side. Like your original idea for this challenge. |

I find this too staged and cluttered and both dogs look too old to be toddlers let alone babies |

Very, very ambitious shot. Hard to mark though. I applaud your work, tenacity, humour, fearlessness, photo skills.
Am wondering what Vermeer would think of it.
Do you know the work of Ori Gerscht?
Since I have an inkling of the photographer I can formulate several problems that I have with this picture: you wanted to tell too much and crowded your shot with too many props, the opposite of what Vermeer did.
Hard to crop it but it might benefit from it.
The screen looks a bit cheap and does not match the intention and the style of the foreground. Same for the chair, an almost Adirondack style as far from the subject as it could be. The window in the background should have been obstructed in favor of the central subject.
The woman, dress, position, dogs ... is perfect. But the woman's face does not convey the spectacular serenity of Vermeer's portraits. The background should have been a lot darker.
This being said, I will mark this shot very high since the work and intention is unparalleled. But I do not love this picture since it is too much of a hybrid. Your work and talent is much superior to this shot. |

This is a lovely image that I would have given at least a 7 in a free study, but completely and utterly does not meet the challenge for me. Did you accidentally submit it into the wrong challenge? Lighting and subject matter remind me of the work of tanguera. No vote |
