DPS Challenge - Recreate a Famous Portrait

I have mentioned DPS on here before, but it’s been a long time. I love that site. DPS stands for Digital Photography School and it is a forum for all kinds of things photography related. They often have challenges and contests that make me think about how I can stretch my photography brain and try new things.
I follow DPS on Twitter (@digitalps). If you don’t, you might like to.
Today on Twitter I saw a post about a challenge they issued called Recreate a Famous Portrait. I think this sounds like so much fun! A chance to look through portraits and art and a chance to try imitating the lighting and composition of something that obviously has worked in the past. A chance to learn from the greats, if you will.
I am going to try to take this challenge over the weekend. I don’t have any idea what portrait I will attempt to recreate but I am going to figure that out.
Maybe you’d like to join DPS and their challenge?
If you see me on DPS, my name in Winyari. Say hi!

I love DPS. So much good information and so many great ideas. And it’s all free! This challenge caught my eye too. I’m pondering it…
