| Good attempt at emulation although the smile doesn't seem apparent here. |

| This is an average shot but there are some nice and wonderful details that can be seen on the frontal view of this butterfly from the antenae down to the 'hairs' on its legs. But what makes a butterfly so beautiful to look at is the side view with all the lovely colors and patterns on the wings. The difference between the original and your composition is that the 'smile' of the insect is much more evident because of the pattern on it's 'face'. It pattern looks like it is flashing a big smile with a full set of teeth. The butterfly here in this composition has no such recognizable pattern for it's 'mouth' is vertical not horizontal. To capture the beauty of a creature you need to show us what makes it look so beautiful - in the case of the butterfly that is a side view with it's wings visible. Or if you are trying to show off a unique feature that 'humanizes' it like the original does you have to capture it at an angle that would spotlight that feature. |

Not a bad photo, but I wouldn't say it truely emulates the original. I mean, we're dealing with two completely different insects here.
I do like your use of colors though, and your shallow DOF. |

| Pretty good with a pleasant background. Possibly a deeper DOF would have been good. 5 |

| A good shot. The original was a clever use of colour, which your shot imitates, though the green in the original appears slightly more seemless. |
