 Sadly this is not in camera. This is PS. This is my Feb FS with some work. And I prefer this. However, to me it's really cheating, as it's not done in camera.

For an Italian is much easier to see this kind of shots of Venice, nevertheless this is really cool. The only problem is the strange effect on the left side of the sky (I don't know if posterization or banding or what else (?)) due to the blur effect.

A beautiful image created from an equally beautiful original. And so what if it's cheating?

Cheating is not a relevant term in the art context. Fabulous image. Own it, and be proud!

I really love the impressionistic feel. I love it. Who cares how you got there? I am not by any means a purist (far from it) so the end result to me is the only thing that matters. This would be really cool (maybe saturate the colors a bit) HUGE on canvas.

First Impressions: Beautiful colors - blues, greens, yellows, muted oranges, reds. I like the composition with the dominant vertical lines. The effect is very dreamy of living on the water.
Technique: PP in Photoshop
Suggestions: it should be the result that matters not the technique

Overall a great example of photo impressionist style.

I sort of know what you mean; nonetheless this is a very pleasing abstraction.

The original is beautifiul (I remember it from the FS) & this is too. You might have extra 'illicit' fun by combining them. IMO less detai leaves more room for my imagination--I like both but this one is #1 for me. Your PP does not cominate the image, but adds to it. Well done!

To me, it's all about the image. I don't care how you create it. This is lovely.

Just a wonderful image. Sunset, water, boats... all things that appeal to me. And presented here in a fashion that inspires a daydream. Very nice!

No "sadly" needed. The outcome is awesome. I wish I could process like this. It's perfect.

I don't consider it cheating one bit, unless you're trying to pass it off as in camera when it really isn't. To me it's the final product that counts, and how you got there is important only when there are requirements to how to get there (as in the rules for DPC-Challenges). I think for myself, what I go by is, if the postwork is so apparent that it "takes over", then it is too much (regardless of whether it is colour correction, HDRing to death, or adding blur). In this case, the post work is quite convincing, and looks very good. It makes for an interesting to look at graphic. So, just enjoy it!
