This was taken at the Jonathan Hager House next to the Hagerstown City Park in Hagerstown, Maryland. I liked the way the gazebo set in the background against the black-eyed susans (Maryland State Flower). I applied a watercolor filter to the image to give it more of a pastel, painted feel.

Well, I guess I was right about how the effect would be received. But don't let that get you down. This should be printed as large as you can on a canvas and hung with pride somewhere conspicous.

These kinds of effects don't usually do well here, but I hope this proves to be an exception. This is such a wonderful, classic composition and I think really benefits from the treatment you've given it. This is just beautiful.

I like it, and the processing suits this...but I am not sure I like it for a photography site...this would make an amazing watercolour

I think this image has been sharpened way too much. It actually looks more like a painting. Maybe that's what you intended. 6
