The bottom one doesn’t really work because it is supposed to be the Mona Lisa with the RPG and no-one quite looks like the painting. Recommended you view on the original site because it does a side by side comparison

I think he could have done much better.  The poses that Banksy creates in his graffiti are more dynamic.  For example the man throwing the bouquet, the graffiti looks like he’s actually about to throw it but in the photograph he looks like he’s just posing.  

 Agreed. People forget that much of Banksy’s work is either satire, social commentary or plain old hooliganism. These photos lose any message the originals conveyed.

What is the point of this series?  The images arent original, the vision does not belong to the photographer, they offer no additional commentary or understanding of the source material.  If I wanted to look at technically flat Banksy images, i would look at Banksy’s intentionally flat images.

This is just plagiarism.  Peta, how about featuring more artists with original ideas?

 I was hoping someone would say this. The only problem with asking Petapixel to post more original ideas is then we are going to be inundated with more of those signature Petapixel post along the lines of:’Photographs of deep fried gadgets’ or ‘Fashion photos with face pressed against glass’
