Thanks again to Frank Grisdale for judging this contest and thanks to our 57 entrants who participated.
The winner is Jimmy Brown for the photo posted below:
Here are Frank’s comments about Jimmy’s photo:
“Impressionist photography”, yet to be defined in the Art Dictionary, means to me that the reality has been interpreted, rather than captured. So I was most interested in the photographs submitted where the exposures were long, or that had been subtly altered, layered, or toned. I eliminated those photographs in that group where the manipulation was obvious. Successful impressionist photographs are those where there is a mystery of creation, rather than a trumpeting of “Technique!” Jimmy’s photograph has all the elements of expression, and interpretation, rather than reality capture. It has a beautiful atmosphere. I wish I had taken it!
Note to Jimmy- please contact me to get your prizes for this competition – congratulations! Darwin
