Just doesn't have the clarity, and sense of composition, of the original. Great image to choose though.

Diagonal Multiplicity (Inspired by Mundane Challenge Blue)

Comment:
dang, I never knew how this fitted into the 'mundane' challenge, in the first place - at least tis certainly fits here :-) I still find it an uncomfortable shape, compositionally, though this is a good approach. I personally think it needs to be set against the genuine mundanity of te Brum skyline to stand the best chance of working as a shot, but never got a chance in the week i spent there last August. Good work here though.

Good strong light, effectively caught. you placing of your depth of field in regard to your composition is also strong - quite a nice shot. Sufferes in comparison with Thamer's original, if only in sheer sense of scale, but I like what you gain in detail.

Honest, slightly brutal, impeccable, absolutely inspired, and very very beautiful photography. A marvellous, marvellous image. Awesome. The first outright ten i've given in bloody ages. +fav immediately. Rocks.

Three Little Jugs ~ Shadows 11

Not a bad go - the sininess of the jugs I don't like as much as the original, and it's also a shame to my eye that you couldn't have found a curved background, but otherwise it's a pretty solid copy.

Validated? People don't understand refraction then, obviously. Stron shot - love the choice of words too. Pity it was so far up the page, actually, as the actual heart itself in your shot isn't a strong as the original; enough to make the impact though, all the same.

Well, I suppose you must have been waiting for my comment. Rather an odd feeling for me, actually.

I like the confusion of this - it has made me look for a while; I like the mouse reference. I'm not convinced about your tonality, especially with the base shot so recently in our minds I think you print of Jon's shot lacks the blue punch. The blue/orange combination was a very important element of the success of my shot, I thought, and this would have benefitted from something more 'real world' i think. I like your approach though.

Not a bad image, and I like the way the refraction has become the main focus of the shot - you add to the idea of the original by taking elements away, which for me is strong.

"Words" 20 years earlier

Comment:
Really excellent use of this light, and great detailing in the face. Strong crop. Hasn't quite the wild intensity of the original - though I can see how that might be considered an improvement, I think that shot had more emotion than this. Not to be doing down the sense of calm and a certain solemnity here.

Pretty good attempt - although the yellow colour cast was surely not there in the original shot? Some partial sections of the bases of the white pieces are visible, which plays against the illusion.
