Ant,


They look very similar to me as well. Your hand looks a bit lighter, but most hands, and undersides of our arms will look more pale than the top which gets more sun. Also, your hand is catching the light the way any 3D form would, and unlike the flat surface of the painting.

I could see maybe if you were offering a crop of a very small portion of the painting that the camera might try and interpret multiple layers and even pick out isolated coloration. The camera, if it's a good one, is only doing exactly what your want it to do - render as faithfully as it can what is in front of it. However, when you back up to this distance there shouldn't be a problem if your procedure is sound.

There are some good threads on photographing art work in the building next door. It can be a daunting task, indeed. But truly, you seem to be doing a pretty good job of it.

It seems to me that if your client is getting this kind of reproduction of a wip they could not hope to get much more.

As the queen once said: You may be protesting too much, methinks.
