watercolour

How would a watercolourist paint the beach I photographed? This way?
Tomorrow I'll post the photo.

Olhar e ver means to look and see.

Comme une peinture d'Hockney ! Bien joué !

Wow I wouldn't have dared posterize this seeing on how beautiful the ocean coast is, but it looks pretty impressive, well done ;)

:( vais-me desculpar mas isto para mim já não é uma fotografia.

@Ana Lúcia: Pois não. Por isso eu classifiquei a imagem como "digital manipulation". Amanhã publico a fotografia que esteve na origem. A única razão pela qual considero este tipo de imagens como pertencendo a um capítulo especial de fotografia é elas terem origem numa foto.

I love this processing, you have to have a very good image to start with, ( which this is) the conversion to watercolour works beautifully. Stunning work Antonio.

Comme une aquarelle, le résultat est très agréable à regarder

A manipulação de fotos não é a minha praia. Mas discussões técnicas ou éticas à parte, simplesmente gostei.

As a painter of sorts myself, I hate that you (and I and CS3) can do this. But I grudgingly admit it looks not only convincing but rather good, too. Drat!

@Ronnie 2¢: Thanks for your comment. When I posted this image my intention was to know what the community think about this sort of digital manipulation. In the first place it was an experiment, trying to do it without a heavy-weight of digital manipulation (PS and alike). I use paint.net, a freeware.
My only intervention was to click and, well, to choose a suitable photo as raw material. Not a big deal.
