Challenge: Deja Vu (Advanced Editing III)
Camera: Canon PowerShot S50
Location: bathroom
Date: Dec 16, 2004
Date Uploaded: Dec 17, 2004

 an obvious and not particularly subtle "re-imagining" of heidas super stonky original Angel artwork (image id 86800), which at the time of writing is the eighth most viewed picture on this site.

in terms of set up i had little eric sitting on a pumice stone, in front of a print out of some old sky i extracted from an older photo. the pumice stone was made black, the sky elongated to match the originals orientation, and lots of dodging, burning, bit of diffuse glow, smart blur and other sundry filtars and colour / hue / curve adjustment blah blah to get the shades right.

This critique comes courtesy of the Critique Club:

Whatever you lost here in points on technical elements, you certainly seem to have gained back in humor. Like many images, you received a much higher score from commenters than non-commenters, so it may sometimes be hard to look at them and understand why you didn't receive a 7.810 overall score.

I think that my thoughts on this essentially parallel those of jpochard - it is a good idea, but if the technical aspects were pulled off slightly better, it could've received a boost to this already solid score. The sky is a little unnatural/overburnt for my particular taste, and it does look a little grainy. Obviously, considering the figurine, you weren't going for an exact replication - but I sky more similar to the original could have produced an even higher score. Just my take on a possible way that this may have scored even higher that it did. Either way, it's obvious that you evoked an overall positive response from DPC.

Technically this ain't great - sky is grainy and cartman looks out of focus - but on the other hand, its a really great parody. So this is a nine.

Cute idea, but I think technically it could be done better. I'm not crazy about the rock or whatever the doll is on. I think the dodging/burning is not done as artistically as I'd like...kinda streaky looking. The shot did bring a smile, however! :)

Clever and humerous take on the famous DPC original. Brought a chuckle out of me so this is a success in my book.

Fabulous. Subversive, silly, appropriate, and plain daft all at once. I wonder if, given the model, you mightn't have just kept the noise of the sky under more control - I think to have such a silly image (in the best sense) reproduced at the highest quality would be ideal. But great thinking.
