Not your typical dpc picture :o
It´s so much fun to try out new things!
Taken in old ruins of a house, light from the car shining in the doors.
It was taken at 5 sec. and I rolled the focus back and forth.
Thanks to Thamer (tyt2000) for that tip! It can be cool!
Some said that pictures in this challenge should look like a painting others said it shouldnt... So whatever! I just submit this out of focus picture anyway ;)
Editing steps: Levels, brightness - contrast, and bump up the saturation and sharpen
Thanks to my sister for being my model in the middle of nowhere in snow and freezing cold wind and darkness :D Her face was numb after it And I couldnt feel my fingers, but it ws last day and I really wanted to try this out :D

This was my only 10 in the challenge. Very emotive shot. Ironic that you applied some sharpening post-processing, after all the work to make it out-of-focus. :)
Certainly different and certainly very good. It's of course not the typical DPC picture but I hope one day images like these become more acceptable in other challenges too.
Congratulations on the Ribbon. And thanks for the details.
Doesn't suprise me you ribboned. You're one of my favorites for a reason. I like so many of your other shots so much better yet fully respect trying things which are outside the box (see my ownn entries in just about any challenge). You are still one of the only photographers on here that really just blow me away.
This is just fabulous! Wonderful colors, composition and emotion, with just enough focus to capture the moment. My pick for blue- hope to see you there! 10
Image critique: painterly treatment appears to override the actual impressionistic quality in the photo, but this is a good use of technique for the subject. It's emotive and well composed - if a little too processed for my preference. Blue looks a little too pushed and comes forward in the shot too far, when really a more subdued hue would leave the key subject in the spotlght (so to speak).
Out-of-challenge appeal: it's interesting so I will revisit.
returning for comments.
On second reflection, this image is haunting and I am returning to bump again.Cool image and cool effect. I love it. The type which is expected to score very high. Bumping up.
I think this works well for this challenge, but hey, I'm no art critic. :) One of the strongest entries in my book. Curious how the original appeared and the post processing performed to acheive this look. 8
Painting like quality = excellent.
You've got the cold blue on one side and warmer toning on the other side. The strange 45 degree change is bugging me a bit, but the way the girl is portrayed well makes up for that. The girl flowes. The detail is just enough to show that she has her hands in her pockets, that a purple scarve leads to her face, that she might be blond and has something woolen on her head. Cold indeed.
On the other hand the lack of detail makes this timeless. The scene might very well be from the time that the 'master' impressionist were creating their classic paintings.
Curious about how you got the blue/white light contrast. Something in the wall and her jacket seemed to cause your camera to draw lines through her. Otherwise this is yet another of those top-scoring submissions in this very talented challenge.
This has an eery, dark and forboding feeling to it. That is not a bad thing. I like the way your picture creates a mood with light and color. Well done.
Wonderful impressionist photo. Love the figure of the girl. Just the right amount of blur. Great colours, and very effective mood. Great sense of mystery. 10
I really like the painterly feel to this. The texture of the rock is especially interesting. The light on the subject is also very nice and isolated, adding good emphasis. Fine work. 8
Somehow the golden colour on her doesn´t make me "feel" the cold november night but this shot is awesome so don´t get me wrong, I couldn´t pull this off in a million years.
This image grips my imagination! I've been sitting here creating stories about the girl. It's wonderful, great atmospheric colours and the composition creates a sense of drama.
Cold november night
