I would give a 10 for this refreshing picture if it wasn't for the halos.
It's a delicate and completely adorable shot. As long as we can still find moments like these we can still have hopes for the world.

Salome Receiving the Head of John the Baptist

You should have made a reference to Caravaggio's painting so that everybody could appreciate the extent and quality of your work.
In my view, this is the only picture worth considering in this convoluted challenge that produced so many childish or kitschy images. A professional one.
You truly made a "tableau vivant" and there are parts totally remarkable, not to mention the chiaroscuro that you achieved. I don't think that there are good reproductions of the paintings, your scene is the closest to Caravaggio than what one can find on the internet.
There is just one unfortunate juxtaposition of the figures on the left side that truly exists in Caravaggio's painting also.
I particularly appreciate the treatment of all the draped scarves and clothing - you left it all painterly and did not succumb to the sharpening temptations.

This is a typical image that, when examined it in the context of a challenge - its placement 69 of 131 - makes me wonder if people really look at things.
