 This was very difficult to shoot congratulations to mffnqueen who done the original. I have just tried to take an image 20 years earlier but had far to much trouble with the overhead projector to get it right so gave up in the end and concentrated on the portrait not the words.

I like how he has the words "MEN" on his forehead. The fact that you can't actually read most of the words does not detract. The eyes are sharp and the focus is on the face, which is as it should be. I like it.

The clarity on the boy is excellent. Very well done.

Lacking a little of the original with the quality of the projection, the take was well thought out to include the time zone element. very nice. Bumping up.

eerily evocative

It seems just a little dark, but a great idea from the original. The composition and face are right on.

This looks serious and thought provoking. The amount of detail in the background is just right.

Really excellent use of this light, and great detailing in the face. Strong crop. Hasn't quite the wild intensity of the original - though I can see how that might be considered an improvement, I think that shot had more emotion than this. Not to be doing down the sense of calm and a certain solemnity here.

i wish the words were a bit more in focus. They are too blurry IMO.
Still, a nice photo and great focus on the kid's face.

I think this needs a bit of extra contrast to add some punch.

Nice idea, very close to the original.

A wonderful capture of the kid, but I'd like to have seen more of the connection between him and the words.

needs a little more contrast adjustement imo and the convergence of the words in the left could be stronger. but a good photo as is.
