| | | 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 Swampy very nice find.
I'm not just being polite here, I like all these efforts, not a single bad one there.
Nice ones you guys.

| | | 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.
