that is one of the best photos i've seen in a while. when i first opened it i thought it was a painting and every time i first open it again, it strikes me that way again, especially if you dont expand the image. i'm impressed!

Excellent picture to play with Swampy. With all the great renditions it would be cool to see what someone could do putting all the pics in one document and playing with different blending modes and opacities. I flipped mine just to screw up that idea

No I agree Swampy, it only really hit me once I'd posted it on here. It's also lost a fair bit of detail, I assume due the file compression. Never mind, you can't win them all!

Thanks for your constructive criticism Swampy, I went away and I now have a couple more offerings for you! Lonnie, love your version by the way.

[Swampy]

You folks have done just wonderful work!

Kim, I really like the first of your second efforts.
Ro, I like the "fog" effect you managed to achieve. I've seen fog that thick around here.

[LonK]

Thanks Ro. Fabulous wash rendition you did -- great depth. Thanks kimlou. Your second attempt is definitely an improvement.

Superb painting candidate and superb painting by all, and i really mean that, so many that i like and all quite different in styles and colours which make a superb thread and a very good advert to out "hobby"

Palms... I love the very delicate work on the boats. Lovely!
Gilkster, even a touch of grunge goes good with this scene.

Thank you Swampy

This is an awesome photo Swampy, thanks for the find! I agree with Craig, it's almost a painting in itself.

Everyone's versions are wonderful! I know that's lame, but it is also so true

[Swampy]

Jordan, that has a classic old world feel. Nice.

[mikajomc]

Thanks Swampy
It started out as a watercolor and obviously went in another direction

Good catch, Swampy. No end of great work on this one.

My humble contribution is a CS2/Painter/Impressionist deal. I wish I'd had more time to devote. ...looking now at the uploaded version I'm less than thrilled with it. (Sigh)
