Cheating?

This is an imitation of Jackie Rankin’s photo – Milford Umbrella. ( http://www.jackieranken.co.nz/Portfolio/tabid/143/AlbumID/576-6/Default.aspx),
I have no tree but a crane, no man with umbrella but a man with a camera, not in Milford but in Wellington
This is a desperate effort for the Artist Challenge: http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/20566/new-artist-challenge-jackie-rankin

I actually like your one better than the original artist's. This looks so much more interesting!

[Leia Smith]

I like the silhouette and the gradation of tone with the mountains, Yao.

[Rachel]

I like the strong silhouettes.

[Anja]

No cheating, it's your very own interpretation. I like the strong silhouettes.

Love it. I don't think it is cheating either. Very interesting interpretation. Love the silhouette and the lines of the mountains in the background look brilliant.

[Lisa Pouncy]

Great job. I really like it. Fav xx

[Ian McGuire]

strong image….and a very pleasing one...

[Dakotaburns]

Wonderful silhouettes, and the grey shades of background are perfect.

[Jan Penny]

Yes, a terrific silhouette. Fav!

[Custodia Baptista]

Amazing shot, beautiful silhouette.

[Kathie]

You're right. Other than no tree, no umbrella, no Milford it's identical. Love the strong silhouettes and use of b/w. That's the same or better!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I haven't seen the original inspiration, but I really like your adaptation!

[Sharon Simpson]

This is a great image....leaves so much to the imagination! Love the b&w and the silhouettes!
