DMC. Very "traditional" painterly and the PS filter is not overcooked.

I'm not qualified enough to pass a valid comment/critique on this work. All I'll say is that it is indeed something a painter might create. 7

The olive branch of peace...

Indeed a characteristic "painters" pertinent statement aimed at the Middle East? All sides too, depending on which fence you sit. It may appear to "photographic" for DPC'ers with a penchant for compartmental and partisan voting. I really wished more of them would be open minded and with Google Images at their fingertips, do more research. Here's a 9 for your bold and thoughtful statement and your killer skills.

Very DMC. Looks less like a PC generated paint filter and more like it was done with a brush. WD.

Perfect application and in the challenge spirit. Lovely image to begin with. I think it's a bit OTT (for me), still a 7.

The Dressing Down

Brilliant. Perfect original image and painterly application. The diaspora in this challenge is very wide. So many interpretations of the effect, tactile portrayal of paint.
The lighting here is almost like erm light painting, only those elements that needed it were lit. I'd hazard a guess this is Johanna's "Pets and their Owners" style image. Whomsoever it is it is Very Very Good.
