Nice image, but I feel you are overusing filters, almost like you have just discovered them.
We have always discouraged filters that make painterly changes, trying to stay closer to a 'real' photograph.
The way the rules are written, you creation is probably OK.

Thanks to joining this site I am beginning to see the beauty in the natural photograph (without too much manipulation) and that is a good thing because I do have a tendency to overdo. I shall revisit this one again...the ordinary photograph however, (to my eyes) looks really bland. Thank you so much for your thoughts I appreciate them very much. PS the members in my Photo Club also all shy away from filter use.

Hi! It seems that you write the same sentence in all of your posts, which does not fit with anonymity rules. If someone votes for one of your pics, your name will appear and the person will know that you are the author of all the other pics with the same sentence, I think you should erase what you wrote.

You are right. I've stopped doing it and now will go and erase. I appreciate you telling me that....THANK YOU

Love this one,tonal quality is superb and so like the placement of musician in this,well thought through shot and shows the photographer knows there stuff

your welcome

really don,t think this can be improved,the Buddhist monks are in a unique position which radiates peace,there appears to be a bit of movement in the right arm of the left monk,but apart from that a nice shot.

Thank you for your thoughts. So appreciate you stopping by.

You missed the green on the shirt

Aaaaagggghhhhhhhhhh oh no. RATS. I will re-visit that upload. grrrrrrr.

I checked the entries and saw that one of the entries had another colour mixed in with orange. Teaches me to heed my own heart and read the rules carefully. Thank you.

Although I like this one,trying to decide whether the orange bollards add or subtract from the image,like the expressions of the girls behind,not sure I agree with him putting his thumb up though[looks to confident in this

Hmmmm I am having nothing but headaches with this one....might re-visit it. Thank you very much...didn't know they were called bollards.
