Entry for weekly challenge. Specifically I tried to get the feel of this painting http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/rembrandt/self/rembrandt.1661.jpg I've always loved it.

I like this one. The colors really resemble the master, though he used more contrast (brigth light on his cheeks and nose).

Yeah, I know... it looked brighter and sharper on the iPod... It's hard to predict how they'll turn out on the computer screen. :/

Nice one. You've got Rembrandt's rich warm colour choices down, but maybe the background should have been darker to sell his style a little more? Good job, though. :)

@ Munin: yeah, you may be right. Also should have been from farther back, with more negative space... but I didn't want to waste space on the little iPod screen; without being able to zoom in farther, it would be really hard. At least for me.
And I should have given myself a little white hat like his! :D

"...should have been from farther back, with more negative space..." @ Uilleanngirl: Haha... You're working in a very limited environment. You did a great job. I did not mean my comments to be taken as negative. Far from it. :)

@ alan pina: good luck to you too! :)
@ Munin: No, I didn't think you were being negative! Critique is always welcome! I do see what's "un-Rembrandty" about it though. ;)
