This is such an interesting picture! Really got my mind spinning. I̢۪m assuming this is a christening? Is this real, or (brilliantly staged?j So why is the Jewish menorah behind them? Is it a shared facility? If it̢۪s a religious building how come the young girl has bare shoulders?. I can imagine mom rummaging through her fabric bin, trying to find suitable material for everyone̢۪s mask. Mom telling Dad to wear a suit, but he wore his Best Denim Jacket. And even under her mask, Mom is beaming. And that beautiful baby girl! She̢۪s exquisite. Great photo.

..and don't forget those of us who even if we tried to re-create AndrewTOs photo, would get nowhere near as perfect as this. Just because one photo is based on another doesn't mean it doesn't deserve to win.... although I do agree that the photographer should state in their notes/description that their photo is based on someone else's work, if appropriate and clearly so.

Interesting set up. Not a fan of angling the photo to make it look better though.

Interesting to see your reflection in the globe but the background is distracting.

Oh how I wish his/her right ear was lit too.. I usually don't like out of focus shots, but this composition appeals to me.
