Description
To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, and by opposing end them?
Many thank's for looking & comments!

Stimmt! Ute hat recht, der feiert Vatertag. Ich meine ich habe ihn gesehen. Oder etwa nicht?
Very beautiful scene, Ute! Love the Victorian feel of this.
Excellent , as your usual!!!
A wonderful question that can lead to a lifetime of love for the arts.
A very wonderful setting and excellent old clothes! Very well put together! Marvelous work!
very lovely
Amazing characters, the details are outstanding. Fantastic job and wonderful quote.
WOW! Shakespear ... mit so viel Anspruch kann ich gar nicht umgehen!! ;-)
Beautiful scene! Elegant Ladys! Well done!
What an absolutely fascinating image! (When I studied Deutsch, we read Hamlet in translation---into Deutsch. And I'll never forget it: The famous "To be or not to be" speech was translated: "Sein, oder nicht sein: Das ist hier die Frage." It just showed how difficult translation is. "To be" becomes one word, and it just has such a different feeling. I'm sure there are other translations, of course. But I had the same experience when I read Mann or Goethe or RIlke or Grass in English: There were so many phrases that didn't 'translate'. Imagine having to translate great works into another language: You have to answer to people on both sides!) Anyway, you don't have Hamlet actually standing here, but the woman on the left seems to be questioning something big, and she has a Hamlet-like way about her. (If you gave her a skull, she'd be perfect, lol.) And the other woman is asking something of her---the image has a question mark in it, something is being sought, something is being questioned.
Of course you have the poster for an old Hamlet production (with old American actors, E.H. Sothern and Virginia Harned), so Hamlet is lurking in the scene. And you have perfect Hamlet fog, and perfect Hamlet light, and a night scene where two people meet---maybe the woman on the right is asking the other woman to join her in the theater. (Or maybe she's asking her to take a much deeper journey---like the one Hamlet takes.) The two children are beautifully dressed and posed and lit. And---here I go again---your attention to detail on the two women is consummate. You're so good at dressing your models---you should've been a fashion designer. You also did a beautiful job with the car too. A real period piece; and to me the whole image asks a question...which is perfect for Hamlet, who grapples with questions throughout the whole play. Terrific, Ute.
(Btw, as I've said before, I stopped faving images, only because I had so many problems with it. It was some kind of corruption which the site couldn't solve. So forgive my not faving---but all your images are fav's. Please know that.)
A finely detailed render. Feels historically authentic. The forest background adds a sense of uneasiness to the scene, though -- as befits that play of Shakespeare's, I suppose, a performance of which the ladies are no doubt on their way to watch. (Could it be too intense for the children, though?...)
Nice work
