I like the pastel and blur here, how did you get the bird so clear while the rest was so ethereal?

beautiful. I love the point of view and the muted colors. I was surprised to see so few portraits, but if this is one of the only examples, it is a fine representation of what an impressionistic portrait should be

Beautiful mix of slight motion blur and colors. It doesn't look like natural motion blur to me, however, as there are inconsistencies with what's blurred and how much, but it's pretty close, and effectively done. Choice of scene and composition are excellent. Very nice work.

Tyndareus would be proud of your represenation of his lovely wife. Great use of motion and the softness created with Leda's pastel garments. The textures of the masquerading Zeus adds to your wonderful modern impressionistic vision of this classic Greek heroine. -9-

This was a very difficult challenge to vote on. Impressionism is so very subjective.

For me, this piece effectively captures a transition from a hetic worldly life to a caring concentration toward a subject held personally precious. An excellent interpretation of impressionism imo and very well executed. Well done and good luck. 10.
