This is a superb shot and , no offence to Jacko, is better than the original. We (you and I) had the opportunity to study his fabulous work and then focus on how to produce a similar image without wondering how it would look - the composition and style had already produced a winner!
The vibrancy of your colours is amazing - I chose a different selection "to be different" and ended up with a more subdued look.
I know only too well how much attention to detail was required to produce such a crisp, bright, square, flawless image - my compliments again!
This deserved a ribbon - sorry to have helped to ease you out.

Homage to Jacko & Rackat

Deja Vu was all about past ribbon winners - so my grateful thanks to Jacko and Rackat who provided the inspiration and creativity. All credit to them.
Thank you voters and especially you commentators for such kindness, you have been a geart motivating force throughout the week!
I will write a "how did they do that" shortly because I learned so much from this exercise, some of which it may be worth sharing.
For the moment: it took 4 sessions to reach my goal, spread over two days - the bisected splash was there by design, not chance!
My daughter-in-law went into labour between sessions 2 and 3 and gave birth to our first grandchild during session 4. As she was 3,500 miles away in MD USA, I needed something to take my mind off the "what ifs" that were crowding in.
Ellie Grace Letheren was born at 9.26 am EST on Sunday 19 January - pictures here.
How I succeeded with the PS bit and the actual submission, after the news had broken, I know not!

a little to the left...please?
