Thanks to all for the comments.
Jon, judging by the submissions and the comments that accompanied them..it would appear that everyone had a different take on "Impressionism" and how it should be achieved...I went for the painting approach without using filters (Boring and unimaginative to some perhaps) but that was what I saw as the purpose and intent of this challenge..but I`m quite willing to accept that perhaps I got that wrong too as some voters seemed convinced, not only that I had used filters but that I had missed the theme completely.
However, I must admit, I did enjoy the challenge and as usual there were some very inventive submissions. |

| Congratulations on your 11th placing. This image is nice and strange but I figured it out...finally..she is holding an umbrella. Good work! |

Invitational Challenge Level: Experienced
Challenge link: total. Perfect assessment of the brief and exercises many facets of the challenge.
Image critique: excellent in all respects. Great choice of focus and composition is clearly sound. I do wonder what it would look like in mono too - even more illusive I should imagine. If anything this is one shot that may have benefited from a border, as the colours wash out a bit next to the DPC grey.
Out-of-challenge appeal: I'll definitely revisit this one and I'm sure many others will appreciate it. |

| Absolutely wonderful effect. Great colors...soft and very well composed. If I could change one thing it would be to see just a little more of the face detail...not easy with this reflection...9 |

| One of the stronger entries. I like the overall look of this piece. The reflections add a lot of character. 7 |

returning for comments:
a very interesting image with good impressionistic feel. The colors are great and the the ambiguity between sky and water works very well. The image speaks well and If I could resolve the mystery created by the walking figure I would feel better. The darkness seem to suggest that the figure is carrying something. bumping up. |

| alittle to blured it doesn't come into focus when i view it from a small distance so it doesn't master the idea of impressionism. |

| This picture haunted me. I had to view it on a CRT to finally realize that the gamma had gone on my home LCD. When I first saw it I could not see the umbrella and it looked like a headless person holding a mirror. I like this shot very much, but the leaves in the lower corner are too much of a reality check. Great technique in the impressionism! |

Such a difficult challenge to judge given the subjective nature of impressionism.
This image expressed "wet to the bone" in a clear yet casual manner. It's a very good interpretation of impressionism imo. The trees and wotnot don't seem to contribute to me. I gave you a 9. Good luck! |

| I like this, but if you are the one that did the bridge, I liked that one more. The leaves in the water create a nice mellow contrast to the sharpness of the rest of the picture. |

| Very colorful and jubilant. I like the filtered effect which truly looks like a reflection. The image of the person is mystifying and interesting. It makes me wonder what He/She is doing. Is that a reflection of you taking the picture. On second thought, don't tell me. Keep it a mystery!! |

This is good... reflection in the water... no editing filter required!
Well conceived. |

| while you've captured the essence of impressionism, i think the leaves actually take away from the image. i'd probably enjoy gazing at this a little more if the details of the person were just a bit clearer. as is, i can't quite tell if they are holding an umbrella, or what. interesting image, none the less. |

| Very nice final result no matter how it was achieved. The figure is distracting to me, only because of the odd shape caused by the umbrella/backpack or whatever it is. |

| The upside-down reflection gives some nice textures to this photo, but I'm not wholly convinced by the composition. The colours and autumn leaves give a great mood. 6 |

| Exceptional piece, very nice impressionistic feel. I like that a figure with an umbrella was included to balance this composition... but I think I would have preferred they be looking the other way. (But thats just me.) 9 |

| Nice positioning fo your main subject, and very good use of water to reflect. I like how you've given her/him an umbrella to stand out more (or captured this that way). 8 |

| 8 - I know it isn't, but it looks like an incredibly well angled reflection from a lake. Whatever your intent was, good job. |

| Is that person carrying an umbrella or a very very large backpack? It would help if s/he carried the umbrella (if that's what it is) up a little higher to give it some separation from his/her body. I like the effect you gave the picture though. Very nicely done |

| Don't really understand impressionism...decided to vote on what appeals visually,sensually and what I could imagine on someone else's wall, or more rarely, on my own wall. Really like this image. The colours, shapes, textures are very appealing. I could imagine this on my wall! Great work! |
