Can I bump this to an 11??

And I thought I went to a lot of trouble for this one. You win, Lydia. And you're right . . . I took the painterly effect for . . . for, well, for a painterly effect and that cost you a point. Soooooo sorry now. but I'd decided somewhere along the line to give highest marks to those who were able to achieve the effect without the aid of . . . shall we say extraneous software.

Congratulations on the HM, anyway, and I just wish it had finished higher.

ETA: I did give this a 9 . . . just not the 11 it deserved.

Outstanding - and the stand out image in the challenge, IMO. I love all the details and the tones - great mood. Congratulations on the Blue.

Very nice indeed and the cat is the cherry on a rather delicious cake. Great Photoshop work and of course photography too! Congrats on the blue!

Love your creativity. No doubt the blue in this challenge. Glad you mentioned the cat. I didn’t see him/her at first. That fence is really cool! Just an outstanding image.
