Shadow Landing

What if you crop the image to the lower rectangle (2/3rd) of bricks with just the plant and the shadow of the bird? Makes it more special IMO.

A Pair and a Pear
by DistantColours

Comment:
Such still life compositions are all about shape IMO. Especially on the left pear you can see the light coming from two sides, while the pear still shows a dark patch in the middle. Also you can see strong shadow in the right of that pear and a strong shadow on the left of the second pear. This gives a strange shape to the pear. It would have been better to use a single large light source (softbox or light shining through a sheet or light in umbrella) and then control the light and shadows gradually with additional soft reflectors where needed. In that way you can sculpt the pear and emphasise its shape.

Tribute to Lev's Tribute to Irving Penn
by primabarbara

Comment:
This is really, really close to the version of LevT. Closer to the original than any other image in this challenge. Even a bit more dark (especially lower left), more intens, more harsh, which brings it closer to Irving Penn's portraits. Maybe a bit oversharpened (especially visible along the arm)

I assume this refer to image 1233096? A free interpretation rather than a remake ;-)

Comment:
Beautiful bird. More cluttered than the original and the position is different. Hard to direct those animals aren't they?

Liquid State of Mind

Comment:
I found the original by MarkB. Great effort. Of course, impossible to make the same, fluid dynamics. Your image makes me think of Bert in Sesamy Street. A bit more contrast maybe to make it pop more?

Tribute to ursula Image_ID1040987
by DCrest01

Comment:
Ursula used a high light from the top, you used a low light from the left. Your image has more depth to it, I like it more than the original.

Blue Flower
by jomari

Comment:
I assume this refers to the blue flower by clickodak. I like yours a bit better because the shadows are a bit softer.

Lucie's Blueberries
by Lydia

Comment:
I found the original. A good effort to emulate it. Nice old spoon, berries placed exactly the same, similar crop. But it is missing the same feel because you used a very different light source. You used a harsh light from the left while the original was made with a soft (large) light from the right, resulting in very different shadows and emphasis of the shapes.
