Impressionist Landsape 8

Comments, ratings appreciated on impressionist shot. Trying to do

something different with landscapes--trying to capture mood.

I really like this group. So original, so asthetically pleasing. Nice job!

A rainy day on a Scottish loch, and those are reeds infront, I can hear the ducks.

Stephen and Jayme, thanks for your comments. Stephen, no ducks at the time, but lots and lots of little frogs. I was trying hard not to step on any.

Great shot, it's like looking through a veil or gauze. Too bad the effect isn't quite as pronounced in the bottom part. Still very nice though.

I think you met your target with this shot. I like the final effect and most of all the fact that notwithstanding the blur, the real shape of the original landscape is preserved. Moreover, the blur seems to convey the mood of the place and you are surely to be commended for that.

Richard and Salvatore, thanks for your comments. This is one of my favorites from the impressionist series.

this also is my favorite. Well done.
