SELFIE CHALLENGE Week #8: Philosopher in Meditation by Rembrandt

in #photography7 years ago


Although it was painted in 1692 the paint still looked wet. It glowed. It left a lasting impression on me.This weeks #selfie #challenge week number #8 initiated by @thatindianlady inspired me to do something based on the beautiful painting by Rembrandt which I was lucky enough to see in the National gallery some years ago when it was on loan from the Musee du Lourve, Paris.

I'm loving these photography challenges by @thatindianwoman they are super inspiring and make me push myself to try to do better photos.

I am no where near to the skill level I would like to be but I just keep plugging away. I'm sure Rembrandt would have had a few thoughts about the composition. It was great fun doing this challenge. Thanks for the inspiration.
