Also have to take into account the challenge is about what people thought your style used to be and this is what your style now is.

@eschelar thanks for explaining your score. I appreciate the time you took to comment. It actually is taken in an Abbey

'I am amused at the number of comments saying "not a fan of this sort of processing"; I'd wish, in the best of all possible worlds, that folks would just vote the image on its own terms, regardless of whether they like that particular subject or approach or not, but I know this ain't gonna happen.'

The thing is, the processing is the first thing you see when you look at it. Something is 'odd or different' at first look and that's the processing. The actual subject matter, composition, etc is a very late secondary thing after the effect.

So it isn't too surprising that people talk about the processing first.

Yup - I'm not too surprised. Lots of positive comments. Lots of interesting comments too. The vote spread is quite different to the company it is keeping down here at the end.

No, not kidding. I think it is one of the more interesting and more successful pictures I've ever taken. Just look at the comments... Some people even have this hanging on their wall. An interesting spread of comments :) Thanks to everyone who left one, positive or negative.

This is all in camera, no post processing, pretty much as seen/ shot.

Love the border. The picture on the right sort of ruins it.

Hmm. That doesn't make much sense. Does the opposite make any more sense?

The border at least gives him something to be leaning against. Seems to be lovely light and that one lone tree seems vaguely surreal or at least into the realm of painting, with complete control of the background elements.

beautiful colour, fun juxtaposition. Really like how the hats and lampshades all rhyme with each other, repeating the shapes around the scene and the final patch of red on the right playing off the hat and the green on the hat playing with the green wall behind. Even the style of the chair works well with the hat shape, so many pieces that hold this together so well
