Is this Scalvert's daughter? It sort of looks like her. This is one of my top picks, I love the softness of the photo and the muted colours. Beautiful.

Damn - I hate it when I come to a picture that needs to get a 20 and all I can give is a 10 - maybe I can vote twice? Wow - no more words.

I really like what you've done here and the B&W conversion is fantastic. There's a story to be told here and this makes me want to learn what it is. What's holding me back from giving a higher score is the arrangement of items, somehow it looks as if they were placed there for the picture, as opposed to the photographer capturing the scene as it unfolded. 6

Ok, it is some 27 years since I read this, and in all honesty would have to re-read it to get the relevance of the props. A such, I shall have to score the photo as a traight still-life - and it is good! The mono-conversion is sound, with a full range of tones from black through to true white, and the elements fit together well. The alarm clock is the only element that I have some doubt about - especially as it (at least in this form) post-dates Hardy!

You know, I take shots similar to this, and never post them up. I fear people will blast it for being too cluttered, but I love these shots. Books, drinks, lighting, and a very understandable title!
