 Tried to keep this true to the original but I still think Nordlys did a better job than me.

Composition, crop and sizing are the same. Nothing advanced about the editing really. Desaturated, recoloured (altho the candle and background were purple anyway), USM and gave it the same border as the original.

Be interesting to see how close I can come to the original score!

I can’t believe how perfect of a job you did copying the other image. You did exactly what you were called to doâ€Â¦wonderful. The only thing I can say as criticism is that yours feels a tad more sharp/harsh. The other one has a bit more softness to it. Not really saying it looks bad just can tell that small difference. Again great job producing this replica.

great job imitating!
[my only gripe is that IMO Deja Vu should not be an EXACT copy]
