Artificial Copies of Natural Objects

Congratulations on 3rd place. I love the use of the artificial butterflies on this skull (which I think is a real skull is it not?) It gives a life and death vibe, showing beauty in both. The lighting you have used is great to create the hollow look to the eye sockets and nose. I only wish that the blue butterfly was less exposed so you could see its colour more. Otherwise, well done.

Congratulations for top 10 in my competition. This is an amazing shot of a mannequin. If it wasn't for her eyes, I don't think you would know it wasn't a real person. I love how the image gives a feeling that she is submerged in water. It reminds me of scenes from AI films where they are creating robots. Overall a big well done.

Congratulations for 1st place. All I can say is wow. You would easily double look at this photograph because the wolf / fox looks so real. I think the lighting you have used, and the scaling, is what has made this artificial animal become alive. Well done.

Congratulations for making my Top 10. I really did think this was a real body until I saw the reflection of the torso in the background. This artificial body is amazing and it definitely deserves a photograph taking of it. I think it is your composition that works the best for this image, being able to see both the front and the back, while keeping any other distractions out of the photograph. Well done.

Congratulations on 2nd place. I really wish I could of given two 1st places as this image is wonderful. I love that the mannequin could easily be a real woman. I think the use of composition, and shooting with that object in the foreground (curtain? Lamp?) is what has made her look real as it makes her less apparent in the photo. Well done.
