I'd love to see this without the horizontal line; you could do it by cutting and pasting to a new doc if you didn't want to re-engineer the whole conversion... It's a lovely image.

I'm actually quite surprised at the amount of sharp detail in the final image, given the soft, abstract nature of the original... and did you use an alternative translation or blend method, or am I wrong?

Oh that is just stunning. I really like the muted tones, and how the blurriness of the edges of the original comes through in the final image.

This reminds me of an old fashioned jewel encrusted brooch. I see deep emeralds and sparkling pink diamonds dripping from the gleaming platinum. Awesome!

Oh, I just love this one! Shows just how minimalist a shot can work well with this technique.

OK, I'm going through the Free Study submissions, purposefully finding those images I think are shot with a less conventional eye - this is one of those images! Thanks for offering something that isn't just DPC friendly eye-candy (though of course there's nothing wrong with eye-candy). I'll be picking one of these images for the Mu (most underrated) award:

Positives: Very bold image - very brave to offer this up. I do see the in focus snow top middle of the image and in many ways it is the primer for the image. The overall effect works for me, it communicates the sense of 'blanketing' your title suggests and captures this in a way that an 'in focus' shot would not have. It isn't about the man or the trees or the house, it's about the snow and how it changes things.

Critical stuff: The shallow diagonal at the bottom of the image - although i perhaps adds information about the POV / vantage point, I think it does detract - a tighter crop may have been better.

Overall: A brave image which will probably get hammered. I find it rather effective.
