The photo is sharply in focus, and the high contrast makes it interesting.

It looks very real! Nicely done. But the UFO does look a little like a mix between a piff helmet and a dinner plate.

Love it! Is there a side of ham under that UFO?

You did a great job giving it that 1964 feeling. It looks very believable as a snapshot from that era. 8

Thought this was thrown, then saw the cord. What is it hung from, if not double exposure?

Perfectly nailed. Just as I remember the old photos. My top pick.

Pretty nice shot for 1964.

I'm pretty curious about how you got this shot, considering it says 1964... If it's a photo of another photo....
