Too Cute! I love the soft colorful background allowing these two sweet ones to stand out.
Fine details on both with sharp focus.
Great use of Natural light.

Authentic or not
beautiful antiques or replicas of the old, German children. Wonderful variation of color to highlight. Very nice Still Life.

Comment from Joan McKay


This is a very cute photo. The dolls are placed well in the photo and also create a little depth by placing them well. I find the textures in the background look odd against the blur of the rest of the background. Also, the bottom eyelashe of the doll in the foreground is not in place. These are the only areas I would change in this delightful photo.

    Thank you very much for your critical review.
    I appreciate your critique, but I believe it would be disrespectful to the artist who created the porcelain figurines, Sister Hummel. I did not change the eyelashes of the boy or any of the original paint.

    Sorry, I did not mean to disrespect Sister Hummel. I wouldn't change the eyelashes of the boy or the original paint on either of these porcelain figurines. However, I would change the background a bit. Sorry if I displeased you, but doing a review is a very subjective experience and one review does not tell you anything. The more reviews you get, the more information you have and then you can then decide whether to make changes or not. Have a good day!

    Don't worry. You did not displease me. I just needed to make clear that I did not change any of the original paint.
    I am sorry you be displeased by my background, but everyone even artists, icluding my self, have subjective intentions how to present their works.

    Yes, I agree with you cleo85. Most of us do have subjective opinions and that's understandable. Have a good day!

This is a fine mixed media presentation of the cute porcelain figurines!. The light and shadows, colours and the composition have worked out well. Good luck in the contest!

Comment from GaliaG


good focus, light handling and clarity, but not a real interesting photo, there is no center of interest, neither a story telling in it and this is why it is not interesting

thanks for sharing

    This is a Still Life. The story it tells is that the sister is working householdscores while her brothe intertains her with his music. :o)
Comment from Envision


These are cute little figurines and you placed them in the scene smoothly. The background colors are very attractive and fitting for the characters. I especially like the textures that you incorporated throughout the background.

Sister M I Hummel was an artist and member of the family with Geobles, that created many of the designs for these figurines she died at only age 37 I think just after ww11. May be it's her signing. The figures are very collectable so I believe. You have two here very typical of the children figures,
and made a very nice image of them in a still life set up. The focus is good and they stand out well with the back ground you have created, which with those colours compliments the figurine colours also. Good luck in the comp.

They are beautuful replicas of The Hummel figurines that are collectibles, they are well photographed with good focus and show clear details, well managed exposure , the colors and tones are natural. Beautiful rainbow colored background showcases them very well. Well composed and presented! Best wishes to you in the contest!
