Another good 'copy'. I think DeSousa's had a little more blue but both are very good. 9

Nicely done emulation of De Sousa's Swan Lake. The musical wake as the swan 'swims' past is what really makes the both compositions demand our attention and play with our imagination. I cannot be sure if the sheet music you used is from Swan Lake - I certainly hope so for that would strengthen the composition. Lighting is good but could be better as that there is a bit of harsh spotlight just right in front of the swan that is a bit blown out. Perhaps diffusing the light with a white cloth a few inches away from the main light would cut the glare down. Your photo composition has a bit more of a bluish cast to it. I'm not quite sure if it is a positive or negative. I do like the more crisp natural light in the original but the bluish cast in yours can be seen as a nice touch for it does give a subtle nod to the color of water.

Best effort in duplicating the moving water distortion on the music scale. I also love the spot lighting. Excellent.
