This is a fairly heavily edited version of the "Monet's Bridge" at Grounds for Sculpture, located behind Rats Restaurant, in Hamilton, NJ. If you can visit this sculpture garden, you won't regret it. I'll post the original and b&W versions.

Very nice work, Michelle. I like the original best and the fractalius version next. It looks just like a painting. Your composition is exceptional. The mist, a powerful element, shows up so well in the original. I think it's less effective in the fractalius version. I still find them both appealing though. #5513182

Congratulations on your first big win ... it gets easier from now on ... each of these three images reflects a different feeling ... the B/w is a more open image ... clean and focused, the second a more etheral feeling... and the third more of a fantasy.
