Actually when I saw the challenge I immediately thought about a photo I took of a banana tree flower, which many people have commented that this flower photograph reminded them of the erotic flower photos from Georgia O'Keeffe - which you can see at http://www.okeeffemuseum.org
All I can add is that it is one of my most viewed photos on my smugmug and Flickr accounts.
Nice photo, I immediately thought of Georgia O'Keefe as well. Having lived in NM a few years ago and been to the museum several times, she is an artist I admire. The last time I went to the museum, they had the Ansel Adams/O'Keefe exibit up, so I've thought of his work too.
Quick question... kinda. How much room for interpretation on the rule do I have? Say... can I study an artist's work, who was not primarily a photographer, yet was inspired by certain photagraphers, and emulate their non-photography work?

The goal is to study a photograph and emulate the style (and learn something in the process), so I'm going to say no to emulating non-photography work. However, the artist does not have to be solely a photographer. They just need to have photography in their portfolio, so to speak, that you'd like to attempt. Maybe we'll have a broader artist challenge in the future, but for now, stick to photos.

No fair. We left out "That parrott wouldn't 'vroom' if you put 5,000 volts through it"
Muahahahahahhahahahahaha
Now, given were talking about HEDGEHOGS shouldn't we be engaging in a rousing chorus of Spiney Norman?! :hide
I just couldn't resist this - Monty python challenge :-). Taken tonight 11pm. My wife gave me a strange look as if I'm nuts, but she went to sleep before I could explain :-)

Yeah, lesson learned. I'm never pairing you and pemmett—er, "Gumby"—together as judges ever again.
...hmmm...I guess I will have to read back to where he got the nickname "Gumby". (it use to be mine in HS because of my last name). I haven't heard that name in years!:D

You should frame this one and hang it in the bedroom :giggle
I like for example to take travel and street photography, which is mostly about instances
- moments that cannot be duplicated even if I try to re-do my own image taken a day before...
This is not like studio photography where we can arrange objects, adjust light,
play with composition, etc...
The question is: do we have to emulate a specific photo, or can we just emulate the style of a
photographer we admire?

It's more about the style, not a specific photo (which is certainly okay, too). I can think of several street shooters it would be interesting to emulate, including their approaches to street photography.

You stunned him, just as he was wakin' up! Norwegian Blues stun easily, major.
Well, he's...he's, ah...probably pining for the fjords. :-)

Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?
And yeah: Aaron + Pemmett together. Goodness me, what WERE you thinking???!!!?
I wasn't, obviously.

Since she is the ONLY dgrinner I've met IRL (yet), that's actually pretty funny!!!!
If you all come over here to the Philippines you can meet one more dgrinner IRL.
