Please vote for your favorite image from the "Impressionism" assignment for the "People's Choice" award. The guidelines for this assignment (http://community.spiritofphotography.com/index.php?topic=551.0) were to create an image in the style of impressionism. Impressionists emphasized color over "line" in an attempt to re-create the sensation felt by the viewer of the original subject (to recreate the "impression" of a subject), rather than recreating the object itself. One of the primary goals of impressionists was to emphasize the "play of light" on the subject or scene, and the techniques employed emphasized vivid overall effects rather than details.
To vote for an image, simply select the image title in the "poll" attached at the top of this thread, and click "submit vote." NOTE: You need to be logged in to see the voting options. Voting will end at midnight, Mountain Time (GMT-07:00) on Sunday, 2 May 2010.
