Three Little Jugs ~ Shadows 11

Comment:
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.

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.

Oh man, if only the original was actually a ribbon winner. This is cool work though, especially in the rendition of post-processing. I'm torn between voting a one and a ten ...

Nailed the very high-key feel of thie original, certainly. Besides which, and the colour change, it adds nothing to the original.

Beautiful image, wonderfully lit. I'd never seen the original, either, so thanks for pointing that out to me.

Arguably inspired more by a whole challenge than one particular image, though I'm certainly not going to know you for that as I'm sure many many others will. Top image, highly designed, very stylish.
