Several times the assigned task at the camera club is to "Recreating famous paintings" with our photography as you have done here. Beeeep, right arm not bent and leg is bent... but you would still get award status. Good work, great model

for me, the redness of her aureoles and nipples detract - have to work to get my eye elsewhere. Once I get "elsewhere". nicely done

I had to enhance the reds a bit to get the sheet and lips to match. That spilled over to other reds.

This is a very beautiful image. The lighting is perfect and the exposure is spot on. I am really enjoying your series. Might I make a suggestion for a future project? I suggest that you recreate Gustave Courbet's "L 'Origine du monde".

I like what you are doing in this series, and this one is great.
What this image also points out to me is the subtle difference between reality and a painting. The hips of the woman in the painting lie a bit flatter, which may allow her torso to also lie a bit flatter; your model is slightly rotated to her right. But I wonder if paintings don't sometimes create unnatural and unrealistic poses or proportions of the human body that have us scratching our heads and making us stare and stare and stare at the painting, without really putting our finger on what keeps our curiosity and interest. Maybe the appeal of a painting is that slight distortion of reality.
But I am not a professional photographer and I am certainly not an artist, so take the above with a grain of salt... or maybe a lick of salt and a shot of Tequila!

I know. I've seen that more dramatically in this one, where you don't realize until you try to stage it, that the veil is floating in a way which defies gravity.

I can see what you mean, right above her forehead, the veil appears to be floating. Looking very closely at the painting, I wonder if there may be a thin support inside the veil, something like a small stick or dowel, that she is grasping with her hand.

Very nice, but I do find the discarded lingerie a distraction.
The concept is to recreate a scene from a painting, not to chsng the original.
