Your image is appealing to me, but I would prefer to use my imagination and not be influenced by a title. |

I'm an avid fan of impressionistic art and feel this is the best impressionistic treatment of a photo that I have ever seen. I wouldn't change a thing, every element is just right! |

Viewing and enjoying your image again. I must start to experiment with layering. I've collected hundreds of potential backgrounds.
Too many ideas! Not enough time! Must allow time away from PC to exercise.
Daughter and granddaughter visiting for 10 days. Meeting in Las Vegas March 4 and will start 10 days of sightseeing at Death Valley. Probably too early for wild flowers, but great geological patterns and colors. They both enjoy photography too. Fun! |

Yes, that's what I used. I've learned to be precise in the selection of my image and it's cropping before applying the filters. It offers lots of creative variations. |

I would expect the Elements filter to be identical because it was included in the old Photoshop 2 decades ago. The key to using the filter is cropping and positioning. It is best used on a square original image. Good luck. |

I think it's an interesting effect especially for the bushes and the grass.
My personal preference though would be to erase it from the train and to darken the bright edge along the mountain top.
I enjoy using Topaz filters to also add color to my Desert scenes. Its possibilities are seemingly endless. |

I think you did an excellent job of creating depth. Perhaps the small image file created the distracting detail in the stamen. I find the hand distracting and would clone it out. I think the feeling of depth would be retained.
Thanks for the detailed explanation of your creative process. |

I like the overall effect of soft dreamy pastel colors. Since there is no apparent damage to the boat, it appears to me that the boat rested on the rocks as the tide went out.
I didn't notice the mermaid until I read the title, so I guess I'd like to see more contrast or clarity in the mermaid. Too bad the PSA system doesn't accommodate a fourth original to oshow your original mermaid image.
I'm not familiar with NIC. Did you use NIK? |

I toured Rome for 5 days last Sept., but my memories are so strong that it seems much more recent. Unfortunately, I didn't see anything noteworthy at night. I guess we were too tired and hungry.
I like that your creative treatment opened the shadows of the background. The lack of detail doesn't concern me. I simply suggest burning in the bright areas that are distracting to me. |

I think you have created an unusual and very beautiful and appealing image. I can't suggest any alternatives that could improve it to my eyes and feelings. Super! |

Yes, I checked this mono is a cropped section of the pano. I over dodged the mid section to lead the eye but I will back it off to retain detail and burn the foreground as you suggest. Thanks.
Desert landscapes are all overloaded with midtones, so it's challenging to make appropriate adjustments. I'm learning with the help of this Group. My thanks to all. |

I think it's a wonderful image that could be improved slightly with cropping as Jerry demonstrated above |

I must have deleted the true original. I made the mono by cropping a panoramic. Oops. |

I like the harsh contrast and detail; i feel it's very appropriate for the subject. |

Yes, this version is better, but the right side of the house is not parallel to the frame. I really like the mosaic pattern created by the vines. I'd capture some images of those details. |

I feel this is well posed and captured, but I am uncomfortable with the head tilt. |

I find the sculpture interesting, but the building on the left is distracting to me. You did well in bringing out detail in the bright water. |

I agree with the others, but would add contrast in the upper areas you brushing in clarity. |

You have a sharp eye for a flaw that I overlooked but will easily correct. Thanks.
I'm enjoying the GrandCanyon again with family. Sunset was enhanced with a big, bright moon. My phone keeps telling me to take a panoramic picture! That's carrying AI a little extreme. |
