Good capture. I guess, because of the shooting situation, the crowd seems a bit over-exposed and grainy. Comes across like a pic in the sports page. Nice.

Haunting image and leaves you ready to ponder your own passing of years. The first time I saw this, I think I missed the year. After going through my own "memory box" for this challenge, I think of the person coming back to this tree and running his/her fingers over that carving made so many years ago. Perfect DOF used to really give the imapct required for this image. Great work.

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.

Comment by Artan:
Good idea. This could be lifted further with more definition on the carving. I also wonder about the choice of colour, as the right hand background uses the same tones, which is a little distracting
