Great story telling shot. I love the effects of the effort. The story is very evident. The scene is well put together and the various photos have blend well. The lighting allows us to see each section clearly and then allows it to be tied together well.

Comment from Sange


You are something else! This is the first time I have read reviews FIRST. My Goodness People have their Bible facts all wrong!
Exodus 2:1-2:2 "Now a man of the tribe of Levi married a Levite woman, 2 and she became pregnant and gave birth to a son."
Now Because they were Levites they would have the appearance of someone of South Asia. Most likely he had very olive to tan skin. To rate a beautifully created piece like this over Color of the baby or using a modern baby? I have been in the medical field since I am 25, I worked for internists, orthopedic surgeons and now dentistry. All babies look the same to me! Only thing that has changed is where the mothers have them and the cameras that were used to take the photos!
Well, On with my review! =)
I love the lighting ,the layers, Jochebed (mother of Moses) the tall reeds and I believe that is Sweet baby Thomas Playing Moses!
You are the QUEEN of layers and this one is special and Magical in every way.
You have brought the verses to life. You have told the story well and no words are needed. I just voted for this and came by to review it! =)
Beautifully crafted by those GIFTED hands!
Well done!

    Thank you so very much for the 6 stars. After 2 4,5 reviews, it is a good feeling. It is not often I reply to these reviews, but the modern baby comment, was too much. LOL Thanks a lot for the lovely review as well.

    Modern baby? Never saw that on an insurance form! YOU Dear lady ARE MOST WELCOME! =)
Comment from Efffell


Lovely idea well presented but why use a modern day pic for the baby ?...it rather spoils it for me (sorry) but perhaps you would reconsider ? and post it again ? Best wishes

    I think this review is typical for what you like or not like instead of looking at the quality. This is a photo contest which means that I have to use my own photos. Then of course I had to use a "modern" baby. I have a strong feeling babies looked very much the same at that time.

    Anyway, thank you for the review.

    It says at the top which contest this is, and Moses was not an Egyptian. He was of the tribe of Levi which makes him a Hebrew or Jew. Thanks for the review.

Comment from bcgrafiks


Magnificent! Immediately drew my eye to the infant,then discovered the nuance of the reeds. Very we'll done. If I had any suggestions, it would be the Egyptian in the reeds looks stiff compared to the wonderful organic feel of the rest of the composition. Outstanding. Thanks for sharing.

Oh, love this Moses so rosy and smiling! Great creativity and very nice textures, like nice lighting, composition, and frame. This is a very well-known story and beautifully presented here. Good luck.
