Challenge Details
Famous Paintings (ARCHIVAL)
An Open Challenge using the Standard Editing rules.

Description
We can learn a lot about lighting, composition, etc simply by studying the work of accomplished artists. With that in mind, here's your challenge for this week: Choose a well-known painting, drawing, or other hand-drawn, two-dimensional artwork you really admire, and set out to emulate it photographically. Your work need not be an exact copy, of course, but it should obviously link conceptually to the original. Your title should include the actual title of the work you are using as your inspiration.
