Promenade (corrected)

A nice attempt at a painterly effect.  It's fun experimenting with effects.  I do think a stronger image would allow the effect to be better.  What's the brown thing sticking out on the left?

Hi, Lynne!

It's a trash can, pity it wasn't caught with the stand stick and isn't recognizable!

Thank you for your visit and serious comment!

This is a really cool futuristic-looking effect. What would think about cropping down from the top to eliminate the sky?  Just an idea....  :-)  Happy New Year!

A beautiful and original creative result, Pierre!

Pierre, I like your new photo technique. The results are beautiful. Nice colours and mood. Best regards.

Thank you, Christal!

HNY to you too! I just thought of the cropping the sky out this morning, it changes the whole mood and is nearer to my aimed one! The possibilities are many and it depends on the character and mood of the person which will be chosen!

Cheers to that

Here's a possible correction!

Hi Pierre, I also like the second version a bit better.  The human figure on the left is what attracted me the most...Cheers!

Thank you, Panayotis!

Of course you should prefer the second version, it's an improved one!

Cheers to that!

Dear Pierre, what I like the most is the opposite direction of movement that conveys the image. Some go, others come ... I too prefer the man on the left. It is by the way he turns his gaze to the ground, he seems lost in thoughts and is more integrated in the image. Without underestimating the image of the two ladies.

You've played with an odd number of people, that always works, ie. odd numbers. The green of nature dominates the shot. I also like more the presentation without the patch of sky and without the trash can. I think the photo has got a lot more strength, these elements distracted a little. A semi-reality is drawn in their bodies. Not much seen before.

Congratulations and wishing you a good year of amazing images and we for enjoying them.

Kindest regards, Laura.

Pierre, otra preciosa y creativa imagen. Te felicito.

Saludos.

Dear Laura,

You have thoroughly explored and interpret this image, I can't say anything to it, I completely agree! I removed the trash can and covered the sky now because it was relatively easy to do, before I could take that kind of enterprise because it takes a lot of time to do it on a photo, painting is painting, you can always add something or remove something!

Cheers to that

Thank you, Patsy!

Of course you prefer the corrected one, otherwise why would I corrected it, ha!

Cheers to that!

Reminds me of Monet...i like the faceless man and how the trees came out...very creative...regards....David

Thank you, David!

You said exactly what I wanted to hear! IE, I was trying to make impressionistic impression!

Best regards

The 2nd one is a winner! Congrats!

Уметничка фотка као акварел. Браво Перо мајсторе! Неак зи је срећно бадње вече и сутрашњи велики празник.

Let me add my vote for the 2nd version.  This technique reminds me of the "Paint by Numbers" paintings we used to paint when I was young.  Well done... Mike

Хвала Сретене,

Ја не волим славље, можда је то зато што никад није златник у мом парчету погаче, ха!
