| Adrian, thanks for the nice comment! You are exactly right - I do look more like middle-aged Einstein here than Charlie Chaplin. In fact this should not be entirely surprising to me since my dad (who incidentally is a physicist as well) looks a lot like Einstein in his later years. |

Lev - I got here from your comments from another shot, and think you have great skill as a photographer. Most impressive work on this site. Do you do photography professionally? I think you should. You have a lot of Photogrphic flair, and it's lovely photographs with excellent control and the right levels in all the shots I have seen of yours
I will keep an eye on your work - I am sure I will learn a lot
I like this shot, and remember the scene from the film - I think you look more like Albert Einstein than Chaplin, but the idea is definately a good one.
All the best for your future |

| Very nice lighting and tones. The plate should not be black? and there should be plates and glasses to the left and right. From what I remember of the original scene, it was very tight at the table. He was acting this scene very compactly, with both elbows tucked in; the model (you?) is too comfortable in this picture. Perhaps I don't remember the original well. :) But what a great choice for the challenge! |

| Easily the best image in the challenge. I love everything about this image, the light, the expression and most important of all, how faithful the image seems to the original. Top marks, this has ribbon all over it in my opinion! |

Very nice representation from one of my favorite movies, though the title is just The Gold Rush. If I could have photographed it this well, my favorite bit was when they ate the shoe -- Charlie wrapping the shoelaces around his fork like spaghetti ... that shoe was actually fabricated out of licorice.
My mom knew Charlie Chaplin : ) |

| Excellent set up - but the movie was called "The Gold Rush", as I'm sure many people have pointed out by now. |

| The lighting (even with some slightly hot spots on the face and hand), focus, composition and even the model on this shot are absolutely wonderful. This has a great feel and is worthy of a ribbon. Bumping up to my top pick. 10 |

| I used to watch Charlie Chaplin movies with my Grandfather. You have a wonderful photo here that shows the sadness in a man trying to be funny. The role playing is right on the money! The black and white work is perfect! |
