Two subjects, two rooms both in focus

[NRandall]

Looks like a pretty pleasing result. The softness of the painting isn't too noticeable unless you look closely for it and it certainly works for the shot. The backlighting gives her hair some nice highlights and about the only thing I would change is the crop in the top left of the shot to get rid of the corner of the room which is a little (but not very), distracting.

Yes I agree about the top left corner. This was a compromise given the constrictions for having both in the field of view.
I might try to darken that corner in some way later, as I don't want to crop it down much more really.

Quite a good effort. The slightly softer painting is apt. It is still quite recognisable.
Good framing too. You might just want to do something with the small strip of ?wall near the
person's arm.
Am.

Agree, this also helps the overall image when done proportionately.
