Michael, I did this piece for my own enjoyment and I do have work that I have used with permission of the original photographer. But quite frankly I have also been intrigued for some time now by exactly how much one can use as reference and change it to suit his/her work.

The truth is that there are many artists out there who have or will go for the prop, pose or mood of a piece. After all, we humans do learn through imitation. But as I pointed out, the line of copying vs. procuring one's own creation through the use of reference material seems very fine and besides educating myself just how fine it is I thought let's alter as much as possible without losing the essence of the photograph and see what happens.
