 A modern retake in Icelandic settings on the Elliott Erwitt "California, 1955".

Update: Since the original photo is not one of the most famous I realize I should have put the reference to it in the name... put it down to inexperience here on dpchallenge ;o)

When trying to simulate the look of the original, the halo around the mirror appeared... it is also on the original so I let it be ;o)

surprized it ended up so low (well not really , knowing the DPC a bit :)) I thought it was a wonderful take on the original (perhaps I am biased because Erwitt is one of my favorite photographerr). Congratulations on the photo anyway!

Adorable. There's some light haloing around the sideview mirror. 8

I guess some people have gone for photos that are too famous; others for photos that aren't famous enough. ;-Þ
