Greetings from the critique club!
For this challenge unfortunately you had two things working against you choosing this subject. 1) The photograph you are trying to replicate is probably one of THE most famous images ever. In fact it was named National Geographics most memorable image 2) There were a LOT of attempts at this.
So in light of those two factors, you did pretty well. You got the colors pretty close to the original. The expression is off but I think that is part of the x-factor that makes the original so famous. Its like trying to recreate Mona Lisa's smile. The eyes aren't quite like the original. Again, that's part of the x-factor.
By itself, the image is actually pretty good. You have a great catch light and you've got good exposure. The colors are vibrant without being oversaturated. The trouble is, again, when your version is put up against the others (the original and the dopplegangers that showed up in this challenge).
Good effort and certainly worth a shot. |
