In the Pond

Ann LeFevre @olivetreeann is coordinating the current Artist Challenge - https://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/33106/new-artist-challenge-freeman-patterson
Tomorrow is the last day. His body of work focusing on the natural world is lovely and I was inspired by a few of his with golden tones to do some post-processing work on this scene. The original scene had clear, if not harsh, lines and color tones. Freeman seems to work through a softer eye/lens which is what I tried to emulate.

A wonderful interpretation for the challenge.

A very good answer to the challenge and tribute to Mr. Patterson's work.

It almost looks soft enough to sleep on, doesn't it? Lovely bit of work, Taffy.

[Shanne]

this is really pretty

[judith deacon]

Love this, very "Pattersonesque"! I am a great admirer of Freeman, his photography and his philosophy and was fortunate to spend quite a bit of time with him both in Australia and the UK. Lovely man.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

I love the abstract look of this. Beautiful work.

[Inga Johansson]

Beautiful, it's like two shots in one.

[carol white]

Great abstract effect

[sarah]

Very nice

[haskar]

Well find. A wonderful capture.

[Helen Jane]

Sometimes I think some post-processing will transform an image to exactly as I see in my minds eye but am at a loss as to how to achieve it. Whatever you did here, was just right to enhance the patterns and balance of this shot and turn it into something most worthy of attention.

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Great capture

[Linda]

Nicely done!

[Richard Hickey]

Awesome picture.

[Diane]

Really intriguing image. Fav.

[tony gig]

Great capture.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I absolutely loved this image Taffy and immediately thought of Patterson when I saw it. If I could fav it twice I would! Of course, it's in the vote off! Best wishes!
