Impressionism In Pastels

This was another reflection shot from yesterday that I took along the old canal. There was just enough breeze to give the ripple effect in the water, and then the sunlight was perfect for this refleciton. *Please note, at the suggestion of a few friends, I inverted this image, and I really liked it. I think it looks much more like a "Monet" style inverted, Thank you friends.
It does look like a painting. I like the soft colors in the rippling water.

Awesome concept and perfect execution. As MaryBeth wrote, it *does* look like a painting. In this household, we love impressionist work. We were in heaven at Musee D'Orsay in Paris a couple times. In the case of that museum, the museum itself is the initial artwork!

Be interesting to see it flipped.

This is wonderful. It is a photographic version of an Impressionist master- Monet!

Like a gorgeous watercolor.

Fantastic work on this shot, Rick. Love the colours and the blur effect of the water ripples.

@pointnshoot28 I did make a few adjustments to this Donna, mostly added a bit more saturation, but then darkened it a bit, and that's it.

Very Monet- wall worthy.

Excellent title Rick & very apt.

I love this.
April 4th, 2012  
definitely true that it looks like a watercolor. Beautiful!
April 4th, 2012  
Wonderful shot.

:) I love it. It looks more like a landscape than a reflection now... but ultimately, it depends on how or what you want the image to say.
April 4th, 2012  
@hellcat No, I like it better lik ethis, definitely more of an impressionistic landscape look.
April 4th, 2012  
You done good.... this would make a fabulous large print on canvas. The canvas would provide the extra texture to complete the painterly effect. :)
April 4th, 2012  
certainly looks like an impressionist painting
April 4th, 2012  
Wow! It does look like an impressionistic picture. Great idea!
April 5th, 2012
