Yes, it is painterly .... and looks like a really cold place! This is very pretty.

Very nice patterns! I like that you have chosen a unique reflective surface. It might have been nice without the peas or whatever those little spheres are too, or maybe just to have zoomed in so they were the subject. I find myself trying to figure out what they are more than looking at what should be the subject (I guess), which is those beautiful zebra stripes on the silverware.

A view inside a secret

It's kind of cool how you desaturated all but the picture on the wall to trick the viewer's eye, especially if they're going through these challenge pictures too fast!

Oh, so pretty. Such perfectly still water. I'm glad there are some stars ... I think without the stars, the image would be a tiny bit boring. The sky is actually my favorite part of this photograph. 6

Ooooh, bet this gets a ribbon! I wonder if it's in Iceland? The yellow lights in the houses are the icing on this beautiful image. Love the tones and blues!

It's great how her shirt and sunglasses match the poster so perfectly!

Silky Seal Sea

Not sure if it was what you wanted to do with the strong green or cyan color over the whites... I think it would be awesome with white whites and black blacks, at least around the boats. This looks like an incredibly beautiful location.

Simple and nice. The diagonal crop works really well here. I wonder if it might be even more impactfull (not a word, sorry) if the colors in that beautiful umbrella were boosted and brightened even more?

Ice Sculpture of a Pioneer - reflecting coloured lights
by Shaman

Comment:
This is a tough image to comment on (at least for me, heehee). It's excellent image quality, but the subject just isn't that interesting to me, and that feels not too polite to say. But I'm trying to make an effort at helpful comments, so I'll say it and hope it's not offensive. The colors are nice, and I'm sure the ice sculpture took a lot of work to make, but I guess I would like to see some life there, maybe the person in the act of creating the sculpture, for example. Good luck on the challenge and keep shooting!

This is wonderful! I really like the processing. Every time I try to do this kind of processing, it looks terrible. Yours is very, very appealing. It's an adorable reflection, too.
