Awesome 'watercolor'!

WOW. This will either win hands down or the voters will consider it a cheat and vote low... This looks more like a calendar image than any other entry.. but it looks like an illustration and not a photo.. Hmmm... wouldn't like to say how this will do... tell you what, I'll give it the benefit of the doubt... 10

Excellent work.

Good job! I like the whole idea although it may look just a little diffuse on my monitor. I know that was what you were going for but it is almost hard to make out here. Just a wee bit less diffuse would have done wonders for me.

The pastel effect is very April. In keeping with the rules on text in a picture, I won't let it affect my score. I hope no one puts it in for a DQ - it's a very nice shot.

I have no idea how to rate this one. Is it a photo of a painting? It's too washed out for me.

Hmmmm. I had to really focus my eyes to see this shot. Especially because the previous one was really bright!! I think this may have been a really great photograph, but it has been processed to the point of becoming a painting or digital "art".

This is absolutely wonderful! I'm adding it to my favorites so I can try doing this. I'm curious about the words in the background, but I trust you found a way to do it in the rules. - 10

(ok, just went to the next photo, and things are seeming dull after this!)

Very, very interesting. . . and I hope it does well. BOL
Just a tad too soft more my taste. But I still like the effect.

Lovely pastel image. Did you use some sort of a screen for the background?

I would get this validated by the site council if I were you...is it a picture of a painting?
