What a great unique image and its effect is like something that could only be imagined for paintings. Whatever ways you took to achieve this effect is just superb technique.

I gave you a 7. A striking image with cool processing.

This was a real nice shot, I am normally not a fan of the high key photo, but I think it really works here. Look at the average from the commenters,if we were going by that you would have beat me for sure!

I wouldn't have expected a high-key approach to work in this challenge, but your bold exposure and/or processing really does appeal to me.

Great! I like everything about this photo. The high contrast processing of the water is really good.

now that's one interesting image! i'm usually not into heavy "artistic" processing, but it sems to work here. looks like an illustration from a biolgy book, your high contrast treatment brings out the pattern very well. the tilt, though unnnatural, adds to the shot by emphasizing the motion. Just hope you don't get DQed for deleting too much of the background.

I love your processing here. I'm not really sure why, but the effect is striking.

Excellent way to bring out the pattern on the bird - I like the high key approach.

I love this photo. The PP makes it look like a drawing. I hope you don't get lower scores from the ones that don't like too much processing. I gave you a 10.

Highly unusual treatment, but creatively balances the body pattern and ripples to great effect.

Stupid deer shot. Oh wait, though it was a deer. I guess its not. Still reminds me of a stupid deer shot for some reason. ;)

Outrageously cool processing! This is a real 'stand out!' Gotta give it a BIG TEN!!!

The males are cooler :-) Too bad you didn't get her beak more prominently; but she doesn't look as silly this way, which is probably to her benefit. I like what you did with the PP quite a bit.
