I nearly submitted this, and was quite surprised that no-one else had considered the approach. In the end I didn't submit it because I didn't feel the actual root image was quite worth it - close, but no cigar, for this challenge.
The shot: 
The orginal, or at least a version of the original, is in my portfolio, and viewable through my profile page.
Would be interested to read any opinions, or thoughts (like you all haven't got enough shots to think about right now), especially as i think it might shed some light on the thought processes people have gone through to make their images.

| Very clever, Ed. That certainly would have stood out. |

I'm surprised too as I think that relates well to the idea of making a picture of dabs and strokes of colour to show the form and light - look nothing close up but viewing the whole reveals the subject.

Excellent idea...approaches Impressionism on photography's terms instead of vice versa (as most of the photographs have done).
I like it!

| More closely resembles Seurat's work. He is technically considered a Post-Impressionist. I'm not sure how it would have been voted. If I could figure that out I'd have a few ribbons!!! |

Oh it would have been voted down, have no fear: clever, etc, would have been the comments, but no-one would have voted simply on an idea, I think, and many would have considered it rather confising overall.
Of course, arguably every shot we look at on any web-site more closely resembles Seurat and his fellow pointillist painters - all we're really seeing is a bunch of dots, after all. But it is that point it would have been/is making.

That's impessimism, a different challenge altogether. |

| That's more like Pointillism, and it might look better if the pixels were round instead of square. |

| Not sure I'm really taken by this... not into low-tech chic. |

| I thought of that, but my husband said that impressionist painters with poor eyesight were not the only impressionist painters, and maybe I should concentrate on those with good eyesight :) |

How very dismissive all your comments are, people.

Sorry, didn't mean it that way (dismissive that is). I think pixelation looks very nice sometimes on some pictures, but on very few pictures. I also think that overall many of the entries to the challenge seem to have forgotten content over trying to make a photo that somehow replicates impressionistic painting qualities (EDIT: either in camera or in post-processing). Kinda sad in a way (IMO).

You're quicker than I am. I had to go back to the photo before I got it. ;-) |
