Nice tribute. Nice tones and less high key than the original, but very well done. This has more of a glow about it.

A very nice emulation of the original. Love how both capture the spray of perfume with great clarity. While this is a great emulation there are two things that I think can be improved to increase the visual 'wow' of the image. First is the lighting. Always a tough thing to master but the lighting can help set the mood by illuminating all the right elements. The whole mood of both compositions is for the feel to be steamy, sexy, and a bit erotic without revealing much. While the lighting illuminates the spray, the perfume bottle and the curves of her face and neck it fails to fully accentuate the curves of her chest. The other element that contrasts in color tones can increase not only the dynamic range of the photo but the visual wow of the photo. The original has a white bra while your recreation has a dark one on which does not contrast at all with the rest of the dark tones in the photo. Adding that punch of contrast is greatly increase the visual impact of the photo.

Very nice take on the original. Hard to chose which is best. Nothing really to criticize here. Congratulations on a job well done.

good tribute that has some differences: black shirt instead of white bra, sepia tone instead of pure b/w, slightly different pose and a tighter crop. the crop through the hand is what will cost you some points, the rest is as good as the original.
