Invitational Challenge Level: Experienced

Challenge link: strong.

Image critique: it exercises the correct approach for this challenge in my view, but, for want of a better word, it's a bit dull. Colour is just too washed out and the subject not exactly riveting. However, you have attempted impressionism through your photo and not a filter or 'artificial' means so you deserve credit for that.

Out-of-challenge appeal: it's OK but not much to return for.

Score: 6

Awesome shot. I love the dark brooding view here, coupled with the unusual angle.

Interesting take on the challenge.
I fear the patriotism look may hurt a bit from those not in the U.S.
Perhaps a bit to bright & too much negative space for impressionism, but what do I know about it - LOL.
Well Done! ((7))

Excellent. Great contrast and clarity. The spider web is a nice detail. In my top ten so far.

Took me a while to realise that this wasn't a blurred random reflection! When the flag 'appeared' it made a whole lot more sense. A bright blue sky would have been nice as it seems a little flat to me as it is. I do tend to prefer very colourful photos though.

IMHO this shot is just a tad to blured, Impressionism tipicaly still allows u to view an image from a coupple feet back sharp and clear but when u get in close u can see that it is nothing more than well placed patches of colour, and brushstrokes.

just seems over done to me thats all.
