you may'v got a woeful score but its most definitely not a woeful image .. brilliant in fact .. excellent colours .. love the softness that the process gives this ... its like a beautiful painting ..
i really dont understand the ppl who say stuff like 'doesnt look like a photograph to me' .. when we do any processing we change the appearance of a photograph, its just a matter of degree .. ppl absolutely love the overlay/texture look for example yet they dont look like photographs either .. and there are heaps of stunning images in dpc that are nothing like the original photograph but ppl dont say 'doesnt look like a photograph to me' coz the processing is less obtrusive .. (couldnt think of a word there, so obtrusive will have to do ..!! ..) ..:)
I just read your post in reflections without mirrors and remembered this shot and also remembered I loved it. I am glad some people take chances with there processing it makes it so much more interesting to view. I can and can't beleive this finished so low. Its beautiful and well done so imo should have finished higher however I do know alot of the voters here don't like this sort of thing. I am definately not one of them and am adding this to my favorites. It really is lovely!
I love the way you've processed this picture, the artistic filter really fits the subject matter. Too bad DPC hates shots like this, but maybe you'll prove them wrong this time out. Bumping you to an 8 just because I can.
Is that a mockingbird? Your heavy use of filters may be artistic but I am not sure it works for this photo. I want to see the detail of the bird. The composition with the bird sitting on a diagonal branch seems to work.
I like the watercolor(?) effect. Was this done in photoshop? My only criticism is the with the border merging with the leaves in the top left. For me it detracts from an otherwise very nice image and composition. Good job. 6
Very unique! Personally I don't find the processing to be as appealing, but I understand your desire to try and make your photo stand out (Which is does).
Not much caring for the processing, which is a shame cause it looks like you had a good base to start with. Maybe it was too blurry or somethign to use as a straight edit. Bad border.
'Fraid I'm going to have to go with the "too much processing" crowd. It just doesn't look like a photo to me. That said, the tones are nice and I might like it as a painting, but with a much darker frame (that's too muddy a brown to appeal to me).
