out of focus

maybe I denoise the pic too much. Since the light in the museum is too dark, I got lots of noise in iso 1600.

Interesting set of images. However, I feel like I'm flicking through a stalker's photo album.

Definitely not. She is my wife

#1 ... imagine the entire lit scene as a single entity .... that entity is not balanced well in the frame.
#3 ... this is my favorite

I have three comments 1: If possible find a way to create a little more separation in tone between the subject and background. This can be a slight tone shift or change in contrast or filter. 2: The top strip in this image could be cut in half in a crop and work better in balancing the frame. The top strip and lower floor strip are about the same size. There is a cool effect in using complimentary ratios in horizontal strips that produces a more pleasing balance to the eye. Particularly if the strip have contrasting textures; i.e. top strip is empty and contrasting with a much busier strip. 3: I would crop a little off the right to make sure the left and right vertical strips are the same size. This enforces symmetry.

#3 is my favorite too. #2 is well composed but I think the concept would work more effectively with the background artwork that 'sucks the viewer in' with abundant quality of spatial depth ( http://www.hmsg.si.edu …n_images/full/6​6.1005.jpg for example ) as opposed to 'coming at the viewer' which this particular painting is about.

Thank you for your excellent suggestion. I will definitely crop it as your suggestion
