Thank you very much for the lovely review. I have another ornament of mother and child as well, and I think I will use it for another photo. It is quite different from this one though.

Is that a Willow? I collect them! They are beautiful. I take pictures of mine as well. You captured the detail of the flower nicely. Your lighting is great. Good idea putting some texture on the wall. Adding the mother figure brings a nice touch. Nice work! :)

Thank you very much for the lovely review. No, this is not a Willow. This one was hand made in Norway. But I know what you are talking about, because I have a Willow mother and child as well.

This is absolutely priceless. Your presentations are always well thought out and this is no exception. The positioning of the statuette give the impression she has just received the child from the extended flower. I really like the almost invisible background. Very well done.

Very nice work, as usual. The concept is also very good and well-executed. Excellent lighting and exposure. I like the vignette and the high-key effect.

Annie, very nicely done! You have come a long ways in working with your editing software this year! The colors in the flowers along with the hint of yellow on her dress and reflection all tie everything together. I like the white vignette on this also. Very nicely done! -Sherry
