Well seen and composed.
I love the title you chose for this and how foreground and background are all in focus, which works well here.

Good idea, but I don't think the whole alternate reality connection is noticeable enough. Maybe i his painting were bigger and the really umbrella stood out more, but as it is those were two of the last elements of the photo that I noticed.

I just love whats going on in the picture, what it seems to be saying...nice composition too.

An image within an image....very cool catch! I like the painters version better. ;^) As a photo it seems a bit busy but not sure what else you could do because it wouldn't be the same without the upper half. Did you try cropping it to see out of curiosity? Good luck.

Wow. I'm glad he can create an alternate reality for himself.

good capture, good title and a really good idea. The setup is perfect and the title draws your attention to the concept of the photo. good luck /9

Good find & fitting title. I like the way this shot gets into the mind of the subject. [10]

Great juxtaposition. however I feel that the top half of the image whilst assisting the title, does not help with the Photograph.

I would crop just below the top curb.

This could have been improved by cropping off the top 1/3.

I think a tighter crop could have conveyed the title just as well.... but would have given more "power" to your main subject. 6

I really like this photograph. Looks like he's painting a beach scene of some sort and there's no beach in sight. Nice Work - 7

Goodness this is just great! Full of meaning isn't it? We fall for the glossy painted pictures when reality is rather dull! Great shot!

i know the concept you were going for but the top of the photo is still distracting to me.. good idea though

Now this is good - excellent photography. The first one that adds something more than a simple idea of portraitry.
