I did this laser etched repro of the famous photo of M Duchamp...

5. That's wonderful

You really did justice to that amazing photograph of Richard Avendon. I think your etching may be more interesting than the photo. I wish I could see it better so I could really study it close up. I feel that it’s probably breathtaking.

It has a gilded quality to it, like it was created during the Renaissance. The portrait is quite intriguing in that it immediately grabs your attention because of the theatrical pose. Obviously he understood photographic posing done for an effect other than just catching a likeness. You did a great job choosing your subject and improving on it. I think Avendon would enjoy and admire your work. It’s really good.
