| Nicely done emulation of De Sousa's Swan Lake! The thing that really plays with our imagination and captures our attention is the musical wake as the swan 'swims' past. I can't be sure if the sheet music you used is from Swan Lake but I certainly hope so for that would strengthen the composition. Lighting is good but could be better for the lighting drops off drastically on the far right hand side such that the music falls into shadow. Moving the light source a few more inches away could have still cast a spotlight while illuminating the whole of the sheet music. I would have liked the forground to be in sharper focus/detail. Utilizing an aperture of 7.1 or even higher along with low ISO 50-100 and slower shutter speed (1/8 to 1/50) will greatly increase image detail along with increasing the sharpness of your Depth of Field. Lastly, I think bringing the viewer a bit more closer to the music & the paper swan would increase visual impact for you will show us more - here you have too much of the sheet music visible that we see the far right edge of the sheet and the black background beyond. Sometimes less is more, bring us closer to your main subject and let it shine. |

| It looks a little sloppy compared to the original, which had strong crisp lines but otherwise a good attempt. |

| Very good remake. Only critique is that the notes are upside down. |

| Not quite as sharp and lacking the dramatic shadows of De Sousa's original, but still well done. |
