Recreated Images

There's little that I can say that hasn't been said by others. The tonal range is exceptional. I especially like how you kept the focus slightly soft on the foreground so that the eye goes to the reflected image first. While I initially thought the light might be a little hot on the temple and cheek of the reflected image, my eye immediately goes to that spot, holding me on the face, focusing on the detail of the hair, and then finally pulling back to take in the rest of the shot.

It's such a beautiful image that all I can do is point out some very minor details that caught my eye:

1) Does the bust have a dimpled chin? There is a small 7 shaped shadow under the lower lip and traveling down the chin. It made me wonder about the shape of the lips and the chin.
2) Maybe I can't see it on my monitor, but it looks like the line of the arm holding up the frame is lost in the background. Right before it hits the base, it becomes very dark. As I said, maybe I just can't see it, but it was the only time I saw a line get lost in the shadow.
3) Is there a crack on the bridge of the nose? I noticed some strange little lines.

There's nothing more I can say on this one. It has been beautifully executed. Please excuse the anal-retentive quality of the comments, but your skill has left me precious-little to critique. :-) An excellent, excellent job and intrepretation of the challenge topic. Congratulations!

Was this actually shot against a yellow background? The line of the glass looks very rough, which makes me wonder.

Good color on this one. I love when photos capture sunlight filtering through skin, as you can see on the underside of his fingers.

Love the cropping. Does the little guy have red-eye from the flash, or does he actually have red eyes? Cute shot.

The image has some ghosting on the edges which detracts from the shot, but your timing of the vodka falling into her mouth was excellent.

Beautiful timing. Wings up, Wings down. I would like to see a minor adjustment however, to correct some of the darkness in the bird's wings. I would like to have seen more feather detail.

Focus is wonderful, but I'm not crazy about the red background. Love your cropping and the gap between the upper and lower halves.

Very pretty. I'm glad you kept this as color to keep the steely-blue color of the water.
