An amazing weekend for motorcycling, taking pictures and painting scenes. Saw Elizabeth painting this historic home of a well known Veterinarian and she told me that it is to be demolished this year. Just wanted to try something very different with Picassa and am personally very pleased with the result.

Sorry but the extreme oversaturation of this shot led me to click that "2" button, for me the shot is ruined and only reason I didn´t give a 1 is that it meets the challenge. No offense intended, just thought you at least deserved to know why I scored that way.

The colors are way too oversaturated for my taste.

I like the grainy feel to this and the colors. Looks like a painting, which ties in nicely with the subject.

I'm not a big of a fan of the processing. The telephone phone is really in the way.

Looks very oversaturated on my monitor.

a little washed out, but follows theme and it's interesting

This would be a great shot - but it looks SOOO over processed. That may have been your intention, but IMHO it would be really nice in a "straight out of the camera" feel. It looks like, since she's painting, you want to make this look like a painting. Not a bad job - but just not my cup of tea. An 8 anyway for a really good effort. Don't let my opinion discourage you! It's good stuff!! :)

I think you brightened the contrest WAY to much.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/25/2007 12:26:01 PM
Cool kinda highly saturated but maybe its to give the photo a more painted look?

This has a very unnatural feel to it, with the shadows being unnaturally highlighted, and the colors unnaturally saturated, I'm afraid.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/25/2007 01:31:53 AM
Way overcooked for me.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/25/2007 01:31:07 AM
The colors are totally exagerated and unnatural. Perhaps that was your intent, but it doesn't work for me.

Far too saturated and sharpened. Plus her composition is more interesting than yours.
