Brilliant idea with the shower glass to break up the beautiful image. It is definately an impressionists picture. Gorgeous. (9)

This is just outstanding. I love the effect here done with the water reflection and just a whisp of fog. What a great eye. You are truly a master. (10)

I am just not a big fan of using post editing to "make" the picture. I like the idea some others had of using water reflections and shower glass to get the impressionist effect. I am sure that the original picture here was beautiful, but you can't tell because of the post editing.

Heida, this picture is stunning! Two in a row, congratulations.
Vision is the difference between and average photogragher (like me, below average actually) and a real artist. Keep up the good work!

I had said some negative things to djtj, but edited it when I realized how new he was to the site, as my comments were about judging others when you yourself had not put your own work out to be judged. I hope that you get involved in the site and see why the site council(through much debate) decided to allow the members challenges to be post edited in this way. I think it was a good decision, as was the decision to leave the open challenge with the limited editing rules. Now we get to see the whole range of talents of the photograghers on this site, IMHO.
Anyway, enjoy the site, it is really an awesome one!

I love the look here and the composition. I would have rated it higher if you could have gotten the face in focus a little better.

This shot surprised me, a perfect example of why not to judge on the thumbnail. The thumbnail looked out of focus, but the shot is crisp and soft and quite lovely. 8
