Very nice painted look, Mark, and a cool photo too. I like that it is leaning towards abstract, but you still know what it is.

Nice watercolor effect! I don't think you could have done any nicer work with this one! Even the matting compliments it very well!

Strong graphic image especially since most of them are facing the same way:)

Good job. I like the birds on the diagonal and even though they are simplified you can still tell they are skimmers.

The graphic, water color-esque treatment, simple/limited color palette and repeating patterns really, really appeal to me. Nice job! First I've heard of DAP too. Thanks!

Cheers!

Thanks Jerry & Joe for viewing and comments. Appreciate it.

Joe, DAP Aquarell has become a favorite of mine due to the border I can create with it. DAP doesn't work with everything, but if it does, you can get some nice effects, if you are into "art" images.
