 Tried to find a picture to do, and Afghan Girl by Steve McCurry seemed to be very popular among all the sites I looked at. I've never done any 'portrait' style photos, so I figured it'd be fun to try. Had the fiance toss on some make up and attempted some shots and edits about 3 hours prior to cutoff.
Not expecting to do well, but as of now I've got a top 75 finish! LoL

Good composition, and nice way to recreate the shot... but it seems to have a yellow cast...

Lighting is very harsh and slightly out of focus. 5

A beautiful portrait but a bit too glamorous to bear any comparison to the McCurry photo.

I think this is the most popular reproduction in the challenge...
