I love the arangement and warm colors. In my opinion there are too many distractions in the background otherwise this would be a top rating.

Crop out the background from the sword over and this is a beautiful piece of art. The facial expression is worth a million dollars. Don't know what your thoughts or intentions were when you picked the things for this shot, but your imagination and artistic talent are top ranked. LIke the dark background,. With the light as it is, this photo has a rich tone to it. Can't imagine what the title has to do with the photo, but cropping out the distracting part of the background makes this a ribbon deserving, 10 rated piece of art. As is it is well worthy of an 8.

Nice idea but a bit cluttered. Would be better with stronger lighting.

I'm guessing this is kind of a "memorial" type shot. Pretty good lighting, though I would like to have seen the right side of her face with relatively the same lighting as the left side. I like the composition, but would have liked a tighter crop on just her, and the items in front of her. I find all the rest to be distracting.

very nice

Oh, come on now, you couldn't have waited for the sun to set? You've got everything in here, and even though it looks cluttered, everything seems to fit. The black and white game board, the blue vase, the glass bear, the lovely polished box, the polished table, the beauty of that little girl with her smiling eyes looking out at you. Is that a blue ribbon on top of her hair? The only distracting thing is the photograph on the left wall. I think I would have taken it down for this picture.
Congratulations - - I think you're worth a

Yes, the sunset is missing, but I don't see how it would possibly be encorporated anyway, so I guess its better that the sun didnt set in the house just this once. I like the blue on the girls headband and how it mimicks the blue in the vase. Also, the wood tones and grains are nice. I would ger rid of the glass statue (what is it a polar bear?) It somehow doesn't fit the warmth of the rest of the loving photograph. Nice job. Good portrait shot.

I think some people miss the point of challenges... this challenge was not about how much cliche you could get into the photo, but how you could really make a thing we see all the time look super nice, and be a great photo. Ok, you go everything in but the sunset but unfortunately your photo is not extremely interesting, or greatly appealing. There are some major problems with this picture... for one it is much too busy, I have no clue what I should be looking at and even the background detracts from the setting, for another, I think it looks almost centered, yes the girl is slightly off center, but I think I would have liked a different crop here, as well as shooting this from a different angle. The lighting isn't too bad, it looks pretty even, and your focus is good, though I might have liked to see a different DOF, with some of the background blurred. I'm sorry for ripping on your photo, but this site is about photography often more then just meeting the challenge.

Nice artistic shot - just a little too dark.

Yes! Only the sunset is missing indeed! Good work!
