I like the person on the left, it adds more interest to the photo. I also think the girl and the dog wouldn't have taken up enough verticle space to balance the birch trees. I also love how you captured the scene in such a way that it looks like an old painting - if I didn't know better, I would have thought you put a filter on it.
Amy! How AWESOME IS THAT!!!!!!!! No, I love the big person. And I'm so proud of dpc for recognizing the artistry in this beautiful photo. Congratulations!
Almost like a painting. Excellent. It's nice to see someone trying something a little more artistic rather than technical (although it appears technically excellent). Print this - it deserves a place on your wall. Well done 10.
My vote for best in challenge. Love the splash of color and the impressionistic painting feeling. Having a beautiful entry that does not resort to the typical display of symmetry between the objects and their reflection helps make this a refreshing and very enjoyable image.
great eye for color and composition - just the right amount of "wiggle" to create a unique image with the sense of the original -- one of my ribbon picks
ahhh - glad to see this shot made it in! Hope it does well.
I bet this will do well and will be a great double-header being member of the Week and all.
btw, I'm not registered to vote in Sweden, so I bow out gracefully from clicking a number :)
