Monday challenge - Impressionism

This is beautiful. Such a beautiful part of the world.

I can see why Hilary! It looks fantastic!! What a gorgeous piece of Art to show off your holiday, and to set the scene for the rest of the album. The blending here to give the white border is fabulous too. Really gorgeous.

Oh, my Hilary this is outstanding! Your photo and treatment has turned your lovely photo into a beautiful piece of digital Impressionist art! I really like your blending and the lovely background you chose and I especially like your creative framing with the string frame - it's perfect for your work. I also really like your title and what a super idea to use this painting for a book cover so everyone can see your awesome creation! Thanks for joining the challenge and adding a gorgeous piece of Impressionist digital Art to the Monday Challenge Gallery. Lovely work!

OMG! Stunning.

Very artistic and very creatively done. Perfect picture.

I love how you kept the strong greens in the foreground and blended in the rocks with the blue and grey pinkish undertones of the hills in the background.

Amazing!

I really like you you used a mask and the tiny frame to set it off. Really creative job. Yup it would be a great title page.

Oh my... I'd like this for my album as well, please. (Though I'll have to change the date to 2010 ) It's gorgeous, Hilary! I love the colors and it looks like you really captured the Impressionist look. Beautiful framing, too.

Are you sure you didn't paint this? It is fantastically gorgeous! Such a lovely subject, too. You should be pleased with it. Good idea to use for your album cover.

Gorgeous! I love this masterpiece of yours. Your blending makes the photo look like there are waves crashing against the landscape. And the background paper adds another watery look and feel to the page. Beautiful all around.

so stunning and artistic!

So gorgeous! I can see why you are using this as your title page. I like the way you changed your photo -- very artistic! I also like the way you extended it beyond the stamped frame.

Oooh, this is gorgeous! Love the way you mastered the challenge, great job!

Wonderful! You adjusted everything so beautifully - like the framing, too.

I love this! It looks like it was originally a painting and not a photo almost! It's very neat. The impressionist effect is superb! I love the overlaid frames (is that what they are?) that add interest without taking anything away from the photo.

This is truly lovely. Gorgeous colors in this "painting" and great font. I think it's an excellent choice for your holiday album title page. Makes me want to visit Scotland. Such a beautiful page!

Beautiful!

This came out so beautifully and the soft grunge frame melts so nicely into the landscape. Beautiful.
