Warm welcome to the world-known French author, GM Michel Caillaud! I’m happy to present this nice problem to you:
No.107 – h#2 – Two fine B-promotions with nice Circe-effects. (JV)
Definitions:
Circe: Captured units (not Ks) reappear on their game-array squares, of the same colour in the case of pieces, on the file of capture in the case of pawns, and on the promotion square of the file of capture in the case of fairy pieces. If the rebirth square is occupied the capture is normal.
You can сlick on “Solutions” to show or hide the solutions!

Chameleon echo model mates with specific promotions. (Author)

The diagrams are made on WinChloe and its Echecs font is used for Logo design
Attractive echo mates, though the solutions are differently motivated.
The way of achieving echo (1,2) of relatively complicated mating pictures with bishop promotions is the most attractive. Great result with modest means!
(In the first solution there should be 2.Kc4.)
2.Kc4 corrected! Thanks, Juraj! This was my mistake in the translation from French notation. I’m sorry about it!!
Very well done ! and very nice.
I would perhaps prefer a black Queen a8 (with for example the white King on b1) so that the rebirth on b7 will cut also the diagonal. But I know that generally, Michel does not like this kind of “decorative” elements
