So this took you more than 9 months? Good to see you back here with another phenomenal work. 10.

(Two little nitpicks I have, though: I find the crop at right a tad too tight and also wish the rays of light at top were a bit stronger)

That's certainly got to be the most elaborate set-up I've seen in ages. Very impressive, and what a story! Best of the best so far.

This has to be Jorge. Unbelievable set up. I'm amazed that it doesn't look fake. You've done a great job at making this feel like a moment frozen in time. Amazing image.

This is an arresting image, the work of a master. I am not a fan of religious images otherwise this would have scored a 10.

Comment by Gabriel:
That is a really interesting piece of work.
It seems to be mostly inspired by Rosso Fiorentino (Il Rosso), with perhaps a bit of Inspiration from Rubens for the position of Mary. Mary Magdalene as kissing the feet seems be be a free interpretation from the photographer/director.
Now, what I am trying to understand is why Saint John, which is the person on the bottom right within Rosso Fiorentino's painting, and from which your bottom right character seems to be partially inspired, is depicted as a woman there.

It's now about 15 minutes that I am looking at your work, so within a DPC voting session I'd say that this is a success.
