 I wasent originally going to even enter this challenge, but i was bored today, and really wanted to photograph something.

I think its funny, but if others do is another story.

Post Challenge:
I would have gotten voted down if I would not have included the number in the title; yet, people complained that this picture had nothing to do with the actual picture that I was inspired by. where in the title does it say you need to RECREATE the actual picture to have it be fine? nowhere dudes. Anyways, im just bummed that people have no fun anymore.

Hey, I just now noticed you picked my picture to re-create. Personally, I think it was fine to reinterpret the subject rather than to visually reproduce it, and your results seem to indicate a significant improvement -- good work!

excellent photograph but unfortunately it is not even slightly similar to image 432912:


In this case you did not make a favor to yourself by putting the image number in the title.

Checked the original. Big improvement here.
Something cool, minimalistic and abstract"ish" about this shot. Nice natural framing too. 6

This is an interesting shot, but bears little resemblance to the original, not a beer bottle in sight. Also, there is too much negative space around the window to my eye.
