It's more abstract than impressionism. I don't know what it is but I like the effect very much. If this is done in camera, I think only that old Russian lens from Jupiter can produce such an effect. In my top 5. A 7 from me

Hello from the critique club

An appealing image that fulfils the challenge brief

What a lovely image but you were unfortunately accurate with your prediction, at least you have the appreciation of a couple of people here. She is a lovely model and her pose is classic and very appealing adding a very sensual mystique. The only thing I might have altered is the crop to exclude the dark band of tiles, it gives away the fact that it has been shot into a shower/bathroom, the background tiles with this exposure are not immediately apparent without the blue band, it reveals too much and detracts just a little. Once more Eugene thanks for the illuminating notes you have included, you really do have some unique lenses, I like the way you are happy to experiment with these unusual lenses to create something genuine as opposed to relying and inevitably faking a less convincing result through PS.

It's nice to read your comments. Wondered how you got this soft focus in the first place. I used a soft focus filter way back (25years ago) on my old Nikon camera's to get a similar effect. The problem it was too much uncontrollable on film. I can still mount that old filter on my Canon 40mm pancake lens but barely do it. I am searching on internet more information about the lens you used here.

Good technic but this isn't impressionism, maybe cubism or abstractism

Hello from the critique club

An interesting image that meets the challenge fully

An interesting write-up of the difficulties posed using the lens that you were, a sensible and effective way round the problem. I don̢۪t see the perceived slant on the bridge as a problem at all it is perfectly reasonable to expect to see such a result in real life. If you can get back there to repeat the shot I suspect this will be looking glorious now with more of its autumnal colours add to the golden glow of that lovely bridge. A lot of your images, this included, bring back fond memories from my canal boating days, thanks Eugene.

What a lovely interesting building this is. I̢۪m not sure about the bench, this is a conscious choice you have made to make your image more unique and give it a somewhat quirky feel but it doesn̢۪t really work for me to be honest, I would have preferred the plain grassy expanse. The lighting is good in the way it is bringing out all the interesting detail in the front facade.

I had to smile when I saw this one, cause I had planned to do something similar! Good to see it didn't get voted down for the partial nude. Congrats on the red :-)
