Re: Creative Interpretations - Boats in Port

This is one of the best images I've seen for challenges. My interpretation used only the impressionist plugin. The colors of the original are simply elegant.

Re: Creative Interpretations - Boats in Port

That's cool, Alex. I see lots of details that I couldn't make out in the original.

I'll second Alan's sentiment Swampy. This is a superb photo. I enjoyed working with it.

Re: Creative Interpretations - Boats in Port

Well done, Peter!

Kim, hope you won't get offended, but I find the midtones on yours a little dark. Otherwise, great.

Re: Creative Interpretations - Boats in Port

Nice work folks, and thanks to Swampy

It's not fair to single out just one, but I must say that Lonnie really caught the "mood" of the image.

I went a bit overboard (groan) as usual.
