The Flame

That's amazing that you created that with no prior Photoshop experience! I think it looks really cool and definitely evokes the same feel as the original. The sharp lines and bold colors of your digital work heightens the contrast and gives the work a very pop-art feel, which I think is a cool interpretation of the original.The white in the center feels a bit intense to me, but it definitely draws your eye to the human remains. I think the original has more shock value because you don't immediately notice the remains, but I also didn't notice them until you mentioned them. I really like how you considered the emotions of the original piece when recreating it.

I really like the idea of adding another human figure to the left to raise anxiety, but maybe that figure can be made more prominent because it is hard to distinguish the figure from the darkness. The right side is a well-made recreation of the original piece, and the idea of emphasising the human remains is great and works out well with the intense whiteness in the center. The creativity is great, and the context and documentation look good enough, so the main problem is execution, but it is totally understandable if you have no prior experience with Photoshop.

A strong first attempt with using Photoshop to create a composition. You managed to translate a the texture of the painting into your reproduction, and I think it’s great how you reinterpreted the original by added a figure and highlighting the remains within the fire. Very thoughtful, and also a good job giving context on the artist and the painting.
