Creative Interpretations - Venice Boat

Here's one I think you will enjoy. It needs some loving color and tonal correction, but it makes a lovely painting.

Here's my version using Trimoon's Impressionist AHB.

Venice is among the cities on my "places to visit someday" list...

Anyway, still experimenting with this action...

I believe it has potential on the right image.

I think your action loses something on this particular image because there are so many vertical lines in the original they get "lost" in the vertical boxes of the action.

Nice pic to work on, thanks Swampy.

Lookee, no painting.

I've been playing around with HDR and filters again and sort of liked the half cartooned, rough look of this one.

Thank you Swampy. It was the perfect picture for playing.

The place fasinates me, Steve. What can I say? LOL I would love to go there even though they say it stinks. :-)

Nice painting, hon.

Thanks for the beautiful picture, Swampy!
You guys did a fantastic job on this one!!!
Peter, what's the name of the action you used? I recognize the style but can't remember the name of the action...

Totally true... it was more an exercise of action testing than creative endeavor.

Another great photo Swampy I have had one mess around, but as someone once said "I'll be back "

Well done, Sylvie. I couldn't quite get the detail in the laundry that I wanted, you did a great job.

Wonderful, Palms. The sepia toned background is perfect.

Great picture Swampy!

I really like Dan's interpretation.

Here's mine, a kind of digital impressionistic.

Thanks,
Jeff
