Originally posted by anotherday: This is a very beautiful picture, but it doesn't look very "impressionist". You should have used a filter or smth else in order to enhance some strokes. One of the trademarks of impressionism is the visible brushstrokes, which do not appear in your picture. I am sorry to be the one that hammers down this picture, because it's a very beautiful one, but to me this does not reflect impressionism. Just my opinion, of course. Cheers, Bianca

Thank you, your opinion is very valid. I do not see Impressionism in photography the same way as I look upon Impressionism within art, I do not feel that by adding a filter that creates brush strokes would then label this photograph as Impressionism. however I do feel that impressionism is opinionated and each to their own.

Thank you very much for your honesty
