Brings to mind the art of Edward Bourne-Jones - or perhaps Millais. Beautifully lit, composed and presented, but something, for this viewer is just slightly out of kilter - I can't put my finger on it, but will revisit. 7.

Edit - I still can't work out what it is that stops me giving this full marks - it is so artfully and carefully crafted, and yet there remains something just very slightly off. I wonder if it is to do with the sense of balance - that my brain wants a little more space to the left and less to the right. Nonetheless, bumping to 8.

Woah! That is one heck of an interesting perspective. You have given me something that I haven't seen before, and it is really, really good. 9.

I̢۪ve seen a few similar photos over the last couple of years, but this really is very nicely done indeed. Back to bump to 9.

Voted earlier. Beautifully tranquil and serene. A lovely light touch to the editing.

A case of pot, kettle, black, but not loving the processing. Nonetheless, I do like the image - and a really interesting take on the challenge.

I do like this, but there is something a bit strange going on with the skin tones, especially on the faces - like you have tried to recover too much shadow detail. But what lovely, quiet fun this pair are having.
