What a super composite creation, Annie. So seamlessly done, I thought it was an original at first. Perfect choice of subjects and filters for the nostalgic feel. Well done and good luck in the contest.

This composition is flawless in my opinion. The two photos are seamless merged. Both photos are well focused, showing excellent refinement of detail. The natural environment in the background emphasizes the classical beauty of the wood carving in the foreground perfectly. The mixed media is beautifully composed, balanced and framed.

I am out of sixes! Dang! This is gorgeous! I love the muted tones you have chosen for your creation. This is a bit off topic, but just the other day I was thinking about how I wished the look of women back many, many years ago was still popular. Like in the Sistine Chapel where they are a bit larger than what is the style now. I would be one of those women from long ago.

Fabulous compilation. I like the neutral tones and how you placed the lady extending beyond the frame. This looks like an old painting. Good luck.

Annie,
A beautiful picture of this elegant lady with the Greek Urn & Bougainville making a beautiful backdrop your artistic conversion to sepia gives this picture something special. Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera & editing techniques and sharp focus.

Comment from Zilyram


A very creative image for the competition Annie and I love the subtle color tones which give the impression of age. Very well composed with the lady appearing almost 3 dimensional against the frame. Good luck with contest.
