This is a fascinating concept to build a shot around. I especially like the lighting effect that brings the room and the framed piece alive, the photographer in the backlight, detail shadowed. The depth of the piece with the light and dark is probably the stronghold of the work. Very nice contribution to the site.

That is a really fantastic photo. Really unique shot and you captured it just right. Love the black & white and the shadows add great effect. 'Nuff said.

Really neat composition and concept. The lighting is very dramatic. Possibly a little to dramatic though. I look forward to seeing more of your work.

    thank you! I agree on dramatic lighting, but you understand it was a situation where other forces were at work, two of us were just a players in the game of creating a document of a Moment with capital M. Thank you again for your review.

Wow, this is an amazing shilotte, the clarity is perfect, as is the contrast the angle for the photo and croped area is very well done, good job. :)

I saw a similar theme in a painting not too long ago of an artist painting a picture of an artist painting a picture of an artist painting, and so on. I like the repetitive sequencing of the idea.

    I agree... one of the ultimate goals in photography for me would be to try and capture the essence of what made me go into this field of art in the first place... this photo is a step in that direction...

Excellent composition, it is intriguing and dramatic. The story makes the photograph even better. The lighting is fabulous. Focus is very good. Great job on this.

    Thank you. I agree, the fact that it was made as a total coincidence (if that exists at all) but also as a joint effort by two artists really puts this photograph on top of my personal favourite list.
