this is weak as we are supposed to talk about tableaux vivants so I found this picture on the internet. the left one as we see is the original painting and the right side is the picture that the guy tried to make the painting alive. The name of the painting is The Lovers and this is a painting by Rene Magritte famous painter.

If you ask me why did I choose this one?! because the right side and picture one are so interesting and funny. in the picture, they tried to replace the man's face with a vegetable and his neck as a hanger. however, I have to say for me it is a successful picture why?? because in one look I understand the similarity. On the woman's side instead of a woman there is a guy with a red T-shirt however, in the painting the woman wore a dress or a top. 

everything in both painting and photograph is different. the painting is so classical with shadows and light in the background but in the photograph, we can see everything is so simple and messy in my opinion, there is no shadow and lighting in the background. the colors of the faces are totally different. On the left side, the color is so cold and white, grey, and blue but in the photo, we see a very yellow color. in my opinion colors in the photo are too sharp for the eyes like the red color and blue light in the background.

overall, I liked the idea of replacing it with different shapes and ways or different lighting and color but I prefer the same type of replacement, I mean if it were me I would classically take the photo to give more same feeling as the painting but I would keep the idea of vegetable, it was so cool for me. :D
