Ilaria, now that you explained about the section of sofa the girls are on, the perspective makes complete sense. I was a little confused about it, too, but I thought they were on a large leather cushion on the floor! Maybe the confusion arises because the viewer doesn't read the section they are sitting on as part of the rest, because the sofa we see in the background has two arms (two ends).

I understand about not wanting to change the background drastically. If you just eliminated the bookshelf and brought that back wall a bit closer, that would simplify things a lot and bring the focus back to the girls. Don't feel you will hurt my feelings if you don't agree. You might see a better solution.

I really like the way you painted the leather of the cushion.

Alex
