I hope you like this as it made me smile. I know I did not get the angle or composition correct but oh well another one to revisit in the future.

Made me smile! Great shot. Glad you posted the link to the original.

Just scrolled through some of your images .. great shots. nice to see some one that's almost a neighbour... ok just an hour drive away, but I do recognize some of the scenery.

@barbarajdonnellan Thanks Barbara. I am glad you smiled. The weather looks grim where you are.

[Lisa Stein]

This does make me smile! Very sweet shot. Great processing, too!

[Spanner]

@julzmaioro Hello Julia - Thank you for the follow. Nice to have a (near) neighbour along. You live in a beautiful part of the country.

@pflaume Thanks Lisa - it was just a crop and a press of the turn to black and white button. No other adjustments.

[Hope D Jennings]

Fabulous!

[Spanner]

@mzzhope Thank you Hope.

[trishaclancy]

Brilliant!

[Spanner]

@trishaclancy Thank you Trisha.

[Suse♡]

Great fun idea and realisation. It´s great that you did this your own way and not strictly copyiong that original shot.

[Spanner]

@susale Thanks Suse - I had a brainwave while on the beach. It is as close as I could remember to the original. Of course with my own models.

[Suse♡]

@spanner Okey, but I still think it´s cool you didn´t use the same POV; the low POV and high contrast is what I think makes the original shot, if you had added those here, I believe this would have been too similar ( but cos of the difference in models, it would have been a very cool version of the same shot with a twist).

[Rachel Withey]

Fantastic. Great idea and v well modelled

[kali]

makes me itch :)

[Rinie Nanayakkara]

Cool take on the original. Brought a smile to my face too!

@quixoticneophyte thanks. This still makes me smile.

[Channelf]

+1 smile :-) Great image, I think it's good you just remembered the photo by it's main characteristics but not in all the details. Makes it more interesting.

[Giverny]

Cute! Brought yet another smile to someone's face. :)
