The New iBook. Now with Dual Core.

Your lighting is wonderful in this composition for it illuminates all the elements within. Colors are also great. And extra kudos to you for making the edges of the book pages nice and sharp as well as rounding them to the exact shape of the apple. They really look like they fit in there! Sharpness and details are wonderful I can 'read' and see the words clearly. I also like soft focus of the two apple seeds in the background...I guess that is the dual core that you 'plug' in:-)You did a fine job on emulating the original.

It is the amber golden glow of the cat's eyes that draw the viewer in for they are very hypnotic. Colors and lighting is great. The area that needs a tad more improvement is the sharpness in the details of this feline. The lack of sharpness is most noticeable on the whiskers of the cat. It's the sharpness in the detail that would move this from out of the above average category and into the stellar category. Generally a higher aperture (6.3 and above)and an ISO of 50-100 will give you a sharper DOF and greater detail. Of course, you would have to use a slower shutter speed and a cat is sometimes notorious for not cooperating when you want them too:-)None-the-less, good job on emulating the original.

Remake of Gaurawas's "Liquids 201 : Surface Tension"

It is the lines and curves along with the 'electric' blue lines along the black surface that really captures and draws the eye in. It is very hypnotic in both the original and this emulation. Great details, color and lighting in this composition! Well done.

Now where on DPC have I seen this lovely, young lady before;-) I love how you closely emulated the original. The eye is immediately drawn to the girl found in the far left 1/3 of the frame. While for some circles outside of DPC the bright white background would just be inclusion of empty space that does nothing for the image in both the original & the emulation. Not so, says I, it is instrumental in showing us how the girl fills that 'empty space'. Even though she only occupies 1/3 of the space her presence in the composition becomes all that more noticable & powerful because our eye is drawn to the major element that serves to fill that empty space. Lighting on your model is wonderfully done - and I absolutely love the catch lights in her eyes. It just makes her eyes sparkle.

Planetary (ursula's far, far away)

Wow! Great use and capture of really bold & vibrantly deep colors. Love the sharp details on the smaller bubbles. Having larger 'water circles' along with sporadic smaller bubbles creates visual interest because of the varying sizes in the shapes. Wonderfully executed and well done on your emulation of Ursula's original.

Terje's Broken Eggs

Great motion blur there showing the motion of the cue ball! I also love the sharp details on the cue ball, 8 ball and all those eggs (including the bumpy texture on the eggs). Lighting is also wonderful illuminating all elements of the composition. I only have one small critique (trust me, tis small) but with this being Advanced Editing I think you could have cloned out or toned down the glare on the 8-ball making the 8 more visible. Other than that this is a wonderfully done emulation of the original!

Great job in emulating Scalvert's photo! Love the addition of the colorful 'rug' (hey, I think I have the same table runner!) for it adds a punch of color to this composition. Details and lighting are wonderful. The boy's pose and expression as he calls forth the deadly 'beltsnake' is perfect:-)

Love the sharp details one can see here from the cat's whiskers to fine textures of the hairs of this feline. Colors are outstanding in this composition too. The amber golden glow of the cat's eyes are very hypnotic. Good job on emulating the original.

Kiss Me on Rasberry (CheeGirl Inspired)
by robinssong

Comment:
Wow, love how the frog really pops off that green backdrop. Level of details are wonderful. Lighting is good, but I think a little more illumination would bring out more details in the crevasses (the spaces between the bumps) of your rasberry (hmmm, little confused on the color for a rasberry is red but a blackberry has more of those deep purple/black hues seen here). Good job on emulating the original.

A "Dirty" Tribute to Larus

Wow! The whites of her eyes really stare back out at you! That is the first thing that reaches out, grabs you by the collar, and draws you in. You have a great dynamic range in your B&W tones. The clarity of details in wonderful especially in your model's face. Wonderful job you did here.
