Unfortunately, a wrench doesn't look to be "there". But the idea is nice...

This is in my opinion a very good photo the perfectly fits the challenge.
To me impressionnism is about depicting light and colors. In photography (related to impressionism), I think that we should not try to give a "painting effect" but rather focus on transmitting impressions regarding light/colors.

note: I'd love to see a tutorial on how to achieve such results


The soft focus is quite suitable, switching the emphasis to light/color even more.

What I dont like about his pick is that it does not look like the blow has been delivered yet.

I guessing this was a powerful yellow filter or a Photshop RAW tweak all the way to the left. Regardless I like the lines and the opposite corners upperR/lowerL and the balance is great. With all the emphasis on blur/fade/scratch technique in the rest of this challenge I actually found myself wishing that the upper-center branch was more in focus. High Marks
