Welcome to Dgrin, Phil

I have moved this to 'Go Figure'.

IMHO a rare case when a copy better than its original

Blurmore

I don't usually comment here...because I don't shoot this stuff...but I check it out every once in a while.

I say no comparison...the original is WAY better in all aspects. The models have similar shape...but the challenge image manages to make the model look clunky and too long of limb. The key to the original image is that flat foot, which makes the pose oh so very vulnerable, and makes the models shoulders an sinuous shape keeping those elbows in line. Bruni's vacant unconnected stare through the camera is classic, and adds to the exposed vulnerability of the model. The lighting of the Comte image is stark, it leaves VERY little in shadow but emphasizes the cheeks with a beauty dish kind of feel. Comte's lighting lays bare the soul of the model. The other image has 3D light, and flatters the model, but the pose, light, and connection don't come together to say anything. Just my opinion.

Doesn't happen often that you see a "first lady" in this light, ey?

I don't know, I like both for different reasons

I've got to go with Blurmore. I think the first shot is "better"from an artistic point of view. Although I don't think our man Hegre is exactly about pure art, now is he? Or is he?

Yes, absolutely. The Hegre image completely misses the point of the original.

My impession is that Hegre is basically about soft-core porn. If that's "pure art", then so is a Playboy centerfold.
