 Bokeh reminds me of impressionism, particularly in this image. I jacked up and played around with the color to add a bit of vibrancy. I'm not expecting any great things score wise but I think it fits.

After: Well, at least 1 person really dug this shot, and for right proper reasons too, this always makes me happy...thanks DZ.

Here I am looking for Impressionism and you stun me with a great photograph. This photo demands to be seen on its own terms, which I can easily turn towards the challenge. After all the, moth is infused with light, and it seems as though the same light is portrayed in the background. With light being such an important character in this story, how can it not be Impressionism?

Posthumous Blue Ribbon

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.

A bit dark with the main subject too small.

I like how you stretch the limit and make a modern feeling impressionist work; I like it alot.

Blaaah. I gave this a sucky score and then I just remembered that it says "incorporate into" not "make your entire photo look like". So definitely bumping this up!
