Now THAT looks like a fun party! What luck to have this during the week of the challenge. I think I would have cropped quite a bit off the top of this, made it a longer photo... might have helped to bring something into the main subject...

Comment by robsmith:
My voting criteria for this challenge are:

1. Did you capture a scene from the movie (as the challenge brief states) or did you enter a picture and fit a title to it.
2. How close a rendition is your image to the movie.
3. How does the image stand up in its own right.

In this case:

1. Not convinced that you organised a Roman themed party just to take a photo for the challenge but what do I know.
2. Well set up to look right for the period.
3. The lighting and exposure is good, but I just don't find anything in the image to hold my attention.

Overall a good picture which meets the challenge. 6

Very attractive - nice, cool colors, very crisp in the shadows. A bit washed-out as far as detail in the brightest areas, which is a bit of a pity, but a worthwhile tradeoff to get those hints of reflections even in the deep shadow.

Nice and crisp. Subject is framed well. The natural colors are perfect. If she had been wearing a hot pink I would not have liked the picture.

Too centered. If you cut the left hand side off this you will lose the overexposed areas and gain a much better composition. Otherwise a very nice shot.

I've scored this pretty high not so much because of any great feeling of temperature coming from it, but simply for the wonderful quality of the shot: one of the better portraits i've ever seen here. A small note would regarding the composition: my eye is pulled away from the girl by both the brightness to the left and the shade to the right - I think there's probably enough foreground brightness to have allowed you to crop out the rock to the upper left and still maintain the effect. perhaps you could also have cropped to the child's head more closely at the top: this looks rather like it may have come straight out of the camera this way.
