Sorry, I submitted at the last minute and didn't have time to write them. Basically, I used a dark strokes effect and a brush strokes effect on different layers. I then erased different parts of each layer until each part of the photo had the amount of detail and darkness that I wanted it to have. I then dodged and burned and adjusted the hue/saturation slightly.

My favorite! But where are the "How To" notes?

This was another image whose warm clay tones captured my imagination. Very nice.

This was one of two entries that didn't fit what I thought of as "impressionist" but really liked. I gave it a 10. The lighting on the original image must have been great.

Very nice effect with beautifil clay colors. Nice stepping stair effect to give great interest to the comp. Bumping up.

Well composed, and the colours are great. A little dark at the bottom maybe.
I'm not convinced this is the best subject for this softening effect though, I think I'd prefer to see tall the detail nice and sharp.

Your artistic take on this piece works quite well, in my unqualified opinion. I like the framing, contrast, and subdued tones. Overall clearly one of the strongest entries and I imagine this should do quite well. 7

I really liked the flow of this picture, but felt the contrast/detail was too high.

Like the gold color. The crop yields very nice depth.

I am only commenting and using a place holder score during this pass.
The subject is an interesting choice. I usually like this natural color pallette but somehow think that the picture could do with a little more brightness/lightness. But I'm only saying that based on a personal preference. I think it's the sharp contrast within the towers themselves that throws it off.

An interesting point of view of this noble looking building. I like the subtle way you have used filters to give it a painted look.

balanced composition, nice colors. i like the detail that remains, inspite of the effects used to achieve the result. can't say that i find the image that engaging, though.

Reminds me of some of Monet's church paintings. Focus on shapes and light.

Looks like a PS filter... I don't like the effect on this shot and don't think it looks particularly impressionist. 2

Great technique, I love it, but the subject doesn't really work for me.

Excellent lighting and shadows, the color contrast between and spires and the sky creates interest.
