Romantic Painting Emulation

For project four, I solved the problem of my daughter moving around while I am taking photos by having her pretend to sleep.  She is very convincing!

We realized that the pose in the portrait of "Flaming June" by Lord Frederic Leighton is an impossible feat unless you are nine feet tall with seven foot legs.  We had a lot of fun with this project, but I could really use a nice set of lights if I am going to continue to shoot inside.  This was not an issue with landscapes and outside texture projects!
