 I am going to get sooooo creamed! Hoping it gets some good comments.

Original famous photo:


Anticipated critiques (all of which are qualities of the original I remade):
-Grainy
-Blurry
-Backlit
-Too centered

Post-challenge notes:
Performed as anticipated, perhaps even a little better. I expected that trying to duplicate the look and feel of a grainy, blurry inspirational photo would bomb with most voters, and it did. A surprisingly high number of people appreciated my approach however. It received a large amount of comments for a sub-5 entry, most of them positive in nature. I'm calling this a success.

I wasn't surprised that there were other Loch Ness monster entries, but I was surprised to find that someone else did it as a duck.

I just discovered this looking thru the Posthumous, Part IV thread... you only described it, but I came to your profile to find it, because you reminded me of a similar shot of my own that I took just weeks after yours. In my case, I didn't see it until someone else pointed out "Nessie" in my image when I was showing it and other images off.

This was a great concept and well done. :)

Meets the challenge well but doesn't really offer much as a photo, by itself. 4
