Nature's Candy

Beautiful colors, almost abstract (I like abstract) so the shape of a glass jar only gradually oozes into awareness. Excellent image.

I would not be surprised to find this in a gallery or museum. Love the simplicity, colors, reflections, and mood.

Colorful Feathers

Playful, colorful, engergetic, and crative. Not a copy of an imprssionist work, but in the spirit of the movement. I like it a lot.

Wonderful simplicity and study on the play of light in an everyday setting. One of my top ten for the challenge.

Psychedelic Frog

Interesting play on light and color, with the subject remaining identifiable. The impressionist art I have seen focuses on the play of natural light, so I struggle with the role of 60's black-light poster effects in the setting of this challenge. Point for creativity, counterbalanced by my not liking those posters much in the first place. Then extra point for making me think (a good function for art).

Pause

In this image, the rough backlit bark up close (focused but inherently hard to identify individual elements) contrasts nicely with the blurred bark and greenery in the background. The butterfly backlit against the rough bark is very pretty. I would be interesting to see the same shot and processing without the butterfly, just as a pure impression of light and textures.

Sur la plage à Vancouver

When I scroll the screen to crop off the top enough to exclude everything above the initial expanse of water, I find it easier relax and enjoy the impression of a child and a red ball at the shore.

Country Side Painting

I like the flowers and the old garage because both seem timeless. The car tires and chain link fence anchor the image more specifically in time, an unfortunate distraction.

The interplay of light and color recalls impressionist art. I find the part with stronger linear blur (right 1/5 of the photo) seems much more interesting and impressionistic than the parts where the flowers and leaves are easier to identify individually.
