The only photo in the challenge to have epitomised the purpose of the brie. you have not replicated an impressionist painting through tacky filters, but have created the impressionism in a photograph through its constituent parts.

Amazing!!

I love the fact that you have so successfully nailed the theme without resorting to the use of filters in post-processing. Don't get me wrong, I'm not criticising those who have used such filters, but I'm full of extra admiration and delight at the creativity and beauty of your image, which uses none.

Wow. All the petals! This is beautiful -- one of my favorites in this challenge! I really hope to see it ribbon!

How many glue guns did it take to make this image? lol Very beautiful work- 10
Post actions
This is very awesome! I can't wait to see what you did to get this effect. It's beautiful -- and fits impressionism perfectly.
Post actions
I want more light at the edges, where your petal-strokes disappear in shadow. But otherwise this is spectacular.
Post actions
Wow, that took a lot of work! This would be such an awesome photo if the purple background leaves didn't overpower the photo so much. Perhaps if the wall in the back was white and you used the white petals for the background and/or got a little more seperation....I actually hate that I'm not giving this a 10 for effort, but I just can't...
Post actions
The time it must have taken to set this up was well worth it! Great choice of colors.
Post actions
Love the way you made the petals appear to be brush strokes. I hope this does well, as it is outstanding and original.

Beautiful - I would expect this to ribbon for sure.

The idea was good but you went overboard with it in my opinion. Less would have been more.

Rather wonderful collage therein. I like your creative thought. 7.

Fantastic colors and a very creative idea. A splatter filter would definately made it look like a Monet painting. Still nicely done.

Love the brushstrokes, and I cen certainy appreciate the effort that must have gone into this. The centered composition is a little static for my taste, but the colors and lighting work well. Nicely done!
