Love the fractalius effect #5512814

Christian Rosito 2/18/2008 4:57:37 PM

Wow, you really do great effects. Now this seems to be a scary place, LOL. Fantastic gallery. #5512912

Danielle Fuller 2/18/2008 5:53:33 PM

Again, AWESOME!!!!! #5513040

Joseph N. DiGilio 2/18/2008 6:35:16 PM

Very nice work, Michelle. I like the original best and the fractalius version next. It looks just like a painting. Your composition is exceptional. The mist, a powerful element, shows up so well in the original. I think it's less effective in the fractalius version. I still find them both appealing though. #5513182

Irene Colling 2/18/2008 7:13:55 PM

Michelle this photo is outstanding. I was very impressed with the wonderful pencil drawing effect. Then I viewed the original and I was blown away. You captured the essence of calm and peace. All of the elements work together for an exquisite whole. Love all three versions. #5513389

Robert K. Bemus 2/18/2008 7:43:20 PM

Nice work, Michelle - awesome effects! #5513525

Stefania Barbier 2/18/2008 10:50:08 PM

oh Michelle I agree with Irene, this is outstanding... whatever effects you applied, it's amazing... hope to see it again! #5513885

Great work on this, Michelle! I know that place well, but you have created your own artistic impression ;) #5514518

Kaye Burazin 2/19/2008 7:29:42 AM

How lovely Michelle. Each one has very artistic elements, and can stand on it's own as a fine piece of art. #5515868

Elizabeth J. Bernier 2/21/2008 8:45:45 AM

You have a terrific gallery Michelle!!! I love the original and your Frac version...both are WOW! #5526494

Mitch Spence 2/21/2008 9:12:38 AM

Well, the thumbnail grabbed me and held right on, and then the title did (oh, that's why "rats" bridge), and then the full photo did. I love the plants rising from the bottom of the frame to "meet" the flow of the hanging trees. The effects are beautifully done for this image. #5526621

Dianna Hauf 2/21/2008 9:45:10 AM

WOW! This is BEAUTIFUL!!! Actually, ALL three images are beautiful, each in it's own right! Love the B&W; the tones, shadows and highlights, always partial to them. Then original is a gorgeous capture of an incredible place, soft lighting , gorgeous color and flow to it and then I LOVE the creative, artistic effects you added to it Michelle! SO HARD TO CHOSE as each brings out a certain beautiful aspect of the capture itself! WTG! #5526711

Bill Knaps 2/21/2008 10:31:06 PM

Ken Austin 3/25/2008 10:21:02 AM

Congratulations on your first big win ... it gets easier from now on ... each of these three images reflects a different feeling ... the B/w is a more open image ... clean and focused, the second a more etheral feeling... and the third more of a fantasy. Each is excellent in it's own right. Each is unique. Ken- #5695770

adrifil 3/25/2008 1:57:04 PM

Congratulations, Michelle!
You use this filter like an artist, like a painter uses its brushes. From a "normal" photo you created something new with a judicious sense of balance because although you transfigured the original you kept its essence by not overflowing it with the effect.
Congratulations again, it was a well deserved winner. #5696799

Michelle, I need advice. How do you keep up with all the comments? I feel so guilty that I cannot keep up with all the comments I get. When I get a gold here my first reaction is: How do I thank everyone? :(
As for this photo...no comment!!! Just print, frame and send it to me!!! OK...you won't do that. So..when I visit you I want to see it displayed in your home. #5710883

I love Monet and recognized this garden immediately. What a dream to be there in person.

I have the biggest smile here. I know how you have felt about the fractalius filter in the past but look at the masterpiece that you have created!!!

Even Monet would be impressed! I sure am.
