i don't want to misinterpret this image: is it a picture of a painting, or is this post-processed to look like so? If that's the case, this could possibly be DQed, but I still like it alot. Beautiful idea and image. Well done.
The processing here has gone so far away from a photograph, it feels more like it was painted than it was photographed. Too far for me, personally, but it may appeal to some.
4 - Interesting - trying to work out if I (as the viewer) like the style - my first thought is that the original is likely quite stunning with the colors of the Lorikeet and Eucalypt... yes, I think I'd prefer the original - but it is not my call! Maybe the effect more evenly applied and a tighter crop on the right... who knows.
Interesting image. It looks more like a watercolor than a photograph.Not necessarily a bad thing. Perhaps you could have cropped off some of the right side.
YES .. !!! I LOVE THIS PROCESS .. different and interesting .. almost like a drawing/watercolour combo .. i hope ppl dont mark you down for doing something a little out'v the box .. i think its brilliant .. :)
