Original masters are the paint on canvas, non-photographic images.
Sir Henry RAEBURN, George Frederick Watts, Paul Gauguin, Vincent van Gogh, Paul Cezanne, Edward Hopper, James Abbott McNeill Whistler, Pablo Picasso the list is too great to name them all, but you get the point.
Googleing will help your inspiration.
Using the Advanced rules set, with special rules using ALL stand alone filters and PS filters, recreate a masters painting.
Title the photographic image appropriately from the painting used. Give a link to the chosen master for comparison.
The final image, the final edit must emulate your chosen master over all.

In general I like this idea very much, but there does seem to be a mild contradiction in your instructions: first you suggest a special rule allowing any and all photoshop filters, presumably because the "artistic" filter set includes many filters intended to emulate different styles of art and brushowrk, but then you ask that the finished result "look photographic in nature"... That's just asking for trouble, IMO.
I mean, I can shoot some sunflowers no problem, I can emulate scene and lighting and so forth, and then I can go to the brushstrokes filters and make this look like Van Gogh, that's not so hard to do if you can stage the scene right, but where do I draw the line on "too much" filtration? Because if I do it so well it looks EXACTLY like Vincent's work, then it's no longer a "photograph" right?

good point.
especially the Picasso inspired.
Edit instructions: The emulated image doesn't necessarily have to look photographed.

We'd have to have special rules for this one to allow more latitude in the filter range - maybe a special rule for overlays for this challenge?
I saw Edward Hopper's name on the list - I'm in! :) |

You and me both, we live in Hopper country... Heck, I can go photograph his HOUSE if I want to, it's only a few miles up the road...
Hrmm, I wonder what artist can best be emulated with a Lensbaby?
