Another Two Pieces

Recognizable even without the image title. Good lighting, color is close enough. However, crop and DOF are quite different, POV is a bit to low.

Contemplating the Infinite

Comment:
has some similarities with Jason's image, but not enough to be considered a Déja Vu. You couldn't possibly influence the clouds, but could at least have composed the shot in the same way (person at right third). Also, the most valuable aspect of the original is the water reaching to the lower edge of the image and the resulting reflection of sky and child.

Unfortunately this lacks all the class Deb's original has. Why didn't you try it in color at the least? Why no tears?

Ok, it's a tulip with water drops on black background, but that's where the similarities end.
First of all, your image lacks the simplicity and elegance of the original - mostly due to the excessive border, but also due to the higher contrast; Your lighting is quite different directionwise; the aspect ratio and the single leaf going into the opposite direction to the stem makes the overall composition of the original much more pleasing.

Not sure if found the original image. It has some slight similarities with IreneMs image "Lying in a puddle", but IMO not enough to be considered a Déja Vu.

Eye view of reading - Education

Basically a good shot, but there are many significant differences to the original (color/bw, square crop/landscape crop, border/no border, deeper DOF/shallower DOF, dark book cover/bright book cover, nose invisible/visible, plain background/shaded background). Hair color you couldn't have changed of course.
Also, the eye seems to be dodged a bit much.

What blob?
Seriously, not too distractive in the presence of such a royal bird.

Manchmal wundert man sich, wo diese Bewertungen herkommen; ein 2er Bild ist das sicherlich nicht. Ich kann mir trotzdem nicht vorstellen, dass an diesem Bild dein Herzblut klebt, also vergiss es einfach und reich etwas Neues ein - für Free Study am besten etwas mit mehr mass-appeal.

Nur so zum Vergleich:
Platz 158, ø5.2672, also weit unter meinem Durchschnitt. An der Qualität kann's eher nicht liegen, das stammt aus einem bezahlten Shooting.
Mich ärgert daran nur, dass ich keinen einzigen Kommentar bekommen habe (das zweite mal bei 480 challenges), aber nächste Woche habe ich das auch vergessen :)
