A unique approach to both worlds. Here you have made a sandwich of an impressionism sliver between two slices of classical realism. Good work. Bumping up. And rebumping.

A very good capture of Lee. I would have maintain full integrity of the tonal shades, nevertheless, a good image. Bumping to 6

A very nice study with lovely tonal dimension and great visual power. The right hand is just right with the forefinger up and the pinky separated. My only minor complaint is that the thumb of the left hand is fading and not depicting its shape. Again, a minor flaw. Bumping up to 7 on sheer force of overall presentation wuth lovely black background.

That is a crushing cloud. Ouch! Not only does it steal the light but scares the hell out of some people. Bumping up to 7 even though the oversharpenning artifact are present.
