[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I was never able to get this image quite like I wanted, even if I went there more than once…

I had to go early in the morning to get the right angle of the rising sun, but it never worked out the way I had planned.

What I was looking for was light on the cabin and the tree while the background was in the shade like you see here. However, it never came out quite like I’d imagined…

That’s why I "destroyed" the photograph with some fancy post processing, and posted anyway! Maybe at least some will find some pleasure...

------

By request I’m uploading the original to workshop, a different crop but the same capture!

Bonjour Pablo,
Effectivement, le paysage est magnifique et se doit être rageant de ne pas pouvoir le capter comme tu le souhaites.
Ce PP est superbe, j'aime beaucoup l'effet de arbre baigné de lumière avec cette fôret dans l'ombre en arrière plan. Cet effet peinture va très bien à la situation.
Bonne journée

Very nice 'modern'painting is the result.
Good pp work.

Hello Pablo,

Even being destorted, the image is advocating upon its magnificient glory. Rather it is providing an art work i.e. oil over canvas. A beautiful image with aesthetic sense. Well done my friend.

Thanks for sharing this picture.

Hello Pablo
Don't use the word "destroy" when you processed to such an artistic transformation!
Your sponge-like brush conveys much romance and a dreamy mood to this work.
Beautiful array of warm tones over coldness of blue.
Au revoir, l'artiste!
Robert

This looks like an impressionist painting. Maybe a little pointillism. It's an excellent effect. The lights in the tops of the trees contrast well with the forest background. Well done.

TFS!

Hello Pablo,

For a destroyed photo, you created a nice unique piece of art work. Abstract in nature, and it works great with this scene. Well done!

Lovely result Pablo and very good PP work. With those colours I can see why you wanted to go back and try again. Sometimes all it needs is a change of light. TFS,

Or how to transform a "miss" into a real beauty.

v

Hi Pablo,
But by the looks of it it was a wonderful picture - but you set out with an idea fixed in your head, and then things get complicated.
I discovered in PaintShopPro (that was on my computer - but I never used it) a light effect and with that one you can bring light in the picture just where you want it (after a bit of playing around that is). Maybe that also deserves looking into.
Well, I also love it how it is right now.
TFS
Els

Hi Pablo,
nice 'painterly' effect ;-) Though I can still recognize the good range of tones and interesting contrast that is characteristic in your shots.
Well done.

hi pablo, i lik ehte fuzzyness to this, looks like a fantasy book page, take care,
thanks scott

Hi Pablo :o)
Destroyer ? No ! Artist :o) Wonderful composition ... it's like in a fairy tale, excellent done Pablo !

Beautiful colors and compo, interesting impresionist feeling. The red small house, the green grass, the autumn trees and the blue mou tains compose an attractive, fairy-tale scene. I'd like to see the original version, too...

It never ever turns out as the preacher preaches however if you mean you have “destroyed” the original that it would have been nice to look at this as well. More than 100 points fore a destroyed photo!!!!!
That shows you that it isn’t destroyed at all you have done a very good work, your shot is worth looking at, so there is only one thing to say, COMPLIMENTS and TFS.

Hi Pablo
I do like what you've done to recover this image -- it's a trick I've used myself :)
I think I'd have been inclined to tone down the area around the fence though -- it's almost too bright here, at least to my personal taste (all very subjective, as you know well).
and I really like the crop of the one you put in the WS

Genial y atrevida esta imagen Pablo.

Hi Pablo,
I'll be honest. I am not a big fan of these creative filters. TO me they destroy too much of the photo. But seeing your WS photo and knowing your photography skills, I can understand your decision to do this. I have to say that it does make for a wonderful painting, and the clasic view is wonderful.
TFS,

This is beautiful! It really looks like a painting. Colors, composition and texture are admirable. I like it a lot. Thanks!

ps



Claude Monet ((November 14, 1840 – December 5, 1926)[1] was a founder of French impressionist painting, and the most consistent and prolific practitioner of the movement's philosophy of expressing one's perceptions before nature, especially as applied to plein-air landscape painting.

The term Impressionism is derived from the title of his painting Impression, Sunrise.

There is a ouple of effect in Photoshop who can do near with just one click but if it's the effect i think, it give an effect of painting. The "dry brush" could give a good result too i believe! Perhaps it's that effect combine wih another small touch?
I don't know what is the exact ligh you try to get but the texture itself is already good! on the Workshop!

Hi Pablo,
I like how you 'destroyed' this image. The pp treatment is effective and worked well. But the composition is attractive to begin with. Greetings! Danilo

Cute greeting card.... cute cottage. Reminds me of the dotted pictures we made in art classes.

Hello Pablominto. You have destroyed the image pretty well here :-). I like this oil painting effect with layers of colors and nice perspective. The fence drawn right to the left frame against the red barn is just stunning. Thanks for shring and best regards. Jusni

Hello Pablo,
I am a fan of Impressionistic art--and this is it.
The contrast of the cool blues with the iridescent colours is so effective.
Very inventive PP work.
