Something new

at least for me as I have never tried the Pep Ventosa method before.

It was hard work as I had to remove a car in the driveway and a few other obstacles before I could start. As the house was pretty close, I did not have many options. I did take 10 photos though.

Spent too much time on it and still not perfect, I will have to try again.

You've achieved a very painterly effect. Favourite
I never have enough time to spend on doing things like this and I am full of admiration for your efforts.

[Elisa Smith]

I really like it!

[John Falconer]

I admit i had to look up “Pep Ventosa”! You’ve done a fabulous job here. Love it!
And. Favourite for me to think about and maybe try myself.

[Mags]

Well done!

[Susan Wakely]

A very nice effect. I think that you are a harsh critic on our own shots.

[Linda Godwin]

Very artistic result

[Jennifer Eurell]

Diana it is really good for your first try.

[Desi]

It is lovely! Fave. You have done really well. When I tried the Pep Ventosa method on a vase of flowers it was a complete disaster. Haven't tried it on anything large like a tree.

[Corinne C]

This is fabulous Diana. I don’t see how it could be better.

[Christine Sztukowski]

I love the soft painting look. I also had to go look up Pep Ventosa his work is definitely inspiring.

@lynnz @robz @swchappell @marijbar @elisasaeter thanks so much :-)

[Chris Cook]

It looks very good to me Diana. I tried the Pep Ventosa technique a couple of years ago. It yields a dreamy, painterly image that is quite wonderful but is is a lot of work which is why I probably didn't try it a second time. Your image inspires me to give it another go. Perhaps in October when the sooc challenge is over.

[Rick]

Looks really good. Great shots and edit.

[Diana]

@cdcook48 @rickster549 Thanks so much :-)
