Very nice. I think it would look even better without the glasses.

Dang it, Margaret. As much as I try to create painterly work from photos, I often hate my end results. But here's a case where it works really well and I realize it's not the tools, its the artist. This is one of my top editing picks.... has been since I first saw it. Thanks!

I'm not crazy about the washed out processing on this, but I really do like the texture of the table on which it's sitting. And the fact that the flowers aren't very balanced regarding the size of the vase.

Wish it was processed differently. But not sure that the parts I like would be as effective if is was...

Interesting...

This gets my vote, not that it counts!

Comment by Lydia:
It's the face showing that is the subject, in my opinion. And... this is about not showing the face, so... I think that's what "only" got you 13th place.

I do enjoy examining it... and it would probably do very well in a different challenge topic.

A really excellent environmental portrait, but as wbanning said in the thread, the main subject of this exercise is out of focus :)
