Gioconda's become pretty during the ages! But the original one still can advertise spagetti.... Also good picture for loosing weight campaigns (before/after), well that famous one is really before... ;O)
Good compo, and we can see, we are on the way of evolution...
Cheers,
Marcie

Thank's for the mention, Jack. Great work. Darwin was right with his theory. Incredible the look expression of two women: it is the same and also the position of hands; but over all between the two smiles there is not difference! Senamo2001 prefers the right one: Ishould want the paint of the woman on the left and marry that one on the right!

Very, very funny how you created this one, Jack, Leonardo knew her already...

I like the new one the best. A close resemblance to Gina Lolobrigida. Excellent capture, clarity and color and of course, beauty.

Nicely done... perfectly done. I have done "La Joconde" too, as a self portrait some weeks ago. Congrats. Marie.

Hehehe! Very nice comparison! But I think that the "modern Gioconda" has not the same smile! :)

This is terrific. What absolutely natural fusion of TE and TL here. If I understood correctly, this girl doesn't know of her claim to fame. Can you imagine how this could get around and back to her? But as it is very kind, I am sure she would enjoy it. This is the kind of PP work I would like to try out, now that I have finally aquired PSP. But how do you add the small .jpeg photo to the note of the shot on TE?

An excellent comparison, Jack. Well seen. A beautiful compo of beautiful women you made.
Btw, have you seen Mona chipie yet?

Bravos for the great idea
...the outcome may not be valued artisticlly as Mona Lisa but the photographer's inpiration is surely great.

Beautiful model as well. A contemporary mona lisa

Jack,
WOW. Seriously, the coincidence is amazing. The colors in the background, the skin tones, the angles of the stripes/landscape. I am impressed. Too bad she was not turned slightly. I would have thought it was inentional.
Keep shooting,
Aaron

Very origina, Most of all I like how the props, like the cellphone or MP3 players, most expose dressing style, the arm band, the background and the pose of the model really appear modern and contrast with the one done 1625, yet there is similarity in there

Hi Jack, this is really funny, nice contrast between the old and the modern. Only problem is the blue eyes on the modern girl... well, we can say she got colored contacts maybe?

Oh, one other small nitpick, the gray frames are different.

Thanks for sharing! Gave me a laugh!
