I wasent originally going to even enter this challenge, but i was bored today, and really wanted to photograph something. So i took a trip down memory lane to this challenge (by accident) and saw GeneralE's photo. I thought of a few stories in my day, and came up with this. I think its funny, but if others do is another story.

Post Challenge:
I would have gotten voted down if I would not have included the number in the title; yet, people complained that this picture had nothing to do with the actual picture that I was inspired by. where in the title does it say you need to RECREATE the actual picture to have it be fine? nowhere dudes. Anyways, im just bummed that people have no fun anymore.

Hey, I just now noticed you picked my picture to re-create. Personally, I think it was fine to reinterpret the subject rather than to visually reproduce it, and your results seem to indicate a significant improvement -- good work!
This is an interesting shot, but bears little resemblance to the original, not a beer bottle in sight. Also, there is too much negative space around the window to my eye.
