[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The olive branch is a symbol of peace. And let us not forget that - although the current disaster reverberates and overshadows all thoughts and feelings - what the world needs most is peace between its citizens. So while doing our best to help the victims of the Tsunami tragedy, let's hope that 2005 will be a year where we manage to end more wars than we start.

After resizing and saturating the original photo, I ran a watercolor script and added the frame. I have posted the original as workshop. Maybe I should have left well alone?

I don't know which one I prefer Per, both have their own qualities... the original is a perfect macro shot with a superb DoF. The HPP version is equally beautiful though I would have chosen a different frame. TFS and... I agree with your note.

Yes, definitely agree with your note !

I like what you did to this picture a lot.

I think the water colour filter is just fine for this image Per. In fact it is really nice. The olive branch is a strong symbole and youpoint thta out in your note to. If i look at this as a symbol, theni woudl have wished for the darl olive to not be cut at its base. For me it gets to represnet the sickness in the worl. It is good that the branch is full of healthy green olives, which for me then becomes a represntation of all the good in the world. And as your note says, lets hope we end more wars then we star this year.

Bel effet en résultat final...superbe..les lignes et couleurs sont remarquables..

Beautifull, looks like these little "tableaux" from painters like Van Gogh, even if you are not, its superb.

Per, excelent painting effect. Unfortunately wars will continue and get worse. Peace is certainly a big call and order. At least here on this site there are no wars. :) :)
Well done on the composition and the framing is awesome.

Nice painting Per !
Hope the New Year brings more Love & Peace to all of us.
When peace is found inside, it radiates in all directions !

Nice ps works.
And an even better message.

Per, first of all, your note....so true, now if only we could all make it happen.
Second, your picture, it is beautiful, and true symbolism. I like both the original and the Hpp one.
Thanks for sharing your photo and your insite.

I´m just sory that your olive doesnt have the size of the world. And even if it had...some capitalist would cut its branches to make money with it...
A year full of everything good to you my friend.

The original is very nice but the water color effect and the frame add a lot to the shot, good note.

J'aime beaucoup cette photo. La branche est garnie de fruits, et il semblent mûres à point. Le fruit séché permet de garder en tête que ces fruits ne sont pas éternels.
Je préfère la version originale. Les couleurs sont belles, les lignes claires et précises. Le cadrage est, à mon avis, très bien. J'aime bien la version aquarelle, mais, à mon avis, ces scripts ne rendent jamais la vrai richesse d'une belle aquarelle bien réalisée. Le script est calculé, l'artiste peint avec ses émotions, sa sensibilité et son coeur, ce qui en fait toute la différence.

Vous faites un très beau travail, Per, et j'espère que vous saurez y trouver votre bonheur. Vous faite les nôtre, avec cette branche de paix.

Merci, Nao

i didn't know you were a painter :D
very nicely done!excelent pic to make a painting of.nice framing too.compo and colours are good.well done!

Vos deux versions de cette branche d'olivier sont très bien réussie mais j'ai tendance à préférer celle de votre workshop, elle me semble plus nette. Par contre le cadrage de celle publiée est très beau, enfin les deux me plaisent.

Wonderful image to open and great note to read with it, Per. Thank you for beginning our new year with hopes for a brighter and more peaceful year. We must remember that peace begins with kindness to our friends, neighborbors and our fellow man....:O)

Un voyage entre fiction impressioniste et réalité. Je crois que tu aas fait une bonne manipulation de ce symbole presque archetypale:) Magnifique travail Per!

Moi qui adore le dessin, c'est un cadeau que tu me fais.
Passe un bon dimanche!
