Take it where? +3

You can click the "unsubmit" button, edit your submission, and send it back in once you have tried harder. I'll vote for it if you can get your hair going the correct direction, the cigarette on the right side of your mouth, a closer matching sweater, and maybe a non-MSPaint green background in there. Everything from getting your head in the correct position in the frame, to having lighting coming in from the right angle, or even where you choose to take the photo could be a fun struggle to replicate, and make for an interesting experience.

If you aren't committed to submitting just the two photo comparison (which to speak for itself should be as impressive as possible) you could just write out more of what you did. I'd be interested to find out how you chose this particular photo, of any in the history of the world.
