Invitational Challenge Level: Experienced

Challenge link: strong.

Image critique: it exercises the correct approach for this challenge in my view, but, for want of a better word, it's a bit dull. Colour is just too washed out and the subject not exactly riveting. However, you have attempted impressionism through your photo and not a filter or 'artificial' means so you deserve credit for that.

Out-of-challenge appeal: it's OK but not much to return for.

Score: 6

Interesting take on the challenge.
I fear the patriotism look may hurt a bit from those not in the U.S.
Perhaps a bit to bright & too much negative space for impressionism, but what do I know about it - LOL.
Well Done! ((7))

Took me a while to realise that this wasn't a blurred random reflection! When the flag 'appeared' it made a whole lot more sense. A bright blue sky would have been nice as it seems a little flat to me as it is. I do tend to prefer very colourful photos though.

IMHO this shot is just a tad to blured, Impressionism tipicaly still allows u to view an image from a coupple feet back sharp and clear but when u get in close u can see that it is nothing more than well placed patches of colour, and brushstrokes.

just seems over done to me thats all.

seems a bit too gray, very nice ripple and blur effect tho.

Very nice. Abstract and impressionistic at the same time. A bit more saturated red could give more visual appeal maybe?

Bumping to 9. I would have like more definition on the flag especially if you look at it from afar but ... it's impressionism, and it does leaves a huge impression on the reader.

I like this because I wasn't able to tell what it was in the fullsize image, it was looking at it in the thumbnail that I realized it's a flag. Nicely done, good impression :)

I like the soft reflective focus on your image. The filtering is not overpowering. Although not a complicated picture in imagery it is very pleasing to the eye.

returning for comments.
very simple and very effective to produce a very subtle effects. My feelings is that this image could use a tad more color to increase its competition edge. Bumping up.

not enough colours for the title... but i know what it is.

this is nice and peaceful. maybe it could use a little more color in the flag itself, and maybe it would be a bit better balanced if the darks on the bottom weren't so dark. all the same, a pleasing image that leaves me with no hostility, wondering how the image was produced.

Nice work. But I feel it has to much white space.

The flag and everything else in the reflection is not really clear enough, and I don't think reflections work too well when too much plain white/grey is in the composition. 4

Very painterly, but I do wish there was just a bit more definition here. Nice composition of main elements.

Please dont misunderstand my vote as being a flag-hater vote but there really is something missing from this picture.. some colour, some more distinguishable shapes.. something. 4

I can tell it is a flag, but barely.
