 Took about a bazillion pix at a garden park near home. This one just looked right to me for this challenge. Couldn't bring myself to use drastic "impressionistic" filters on it so processing may be too subtle for the challenge. We shall see.

First challenge entry with the new wide angle lens :-)

PP - converted from RAW, cropped, levels, increased saturation and contrast, sharpened, added stone texture filter (toned it down from the defaults to keep more of the original detail), added border, resized.

Pretty. A path towards the bench would have made the tittle a bit more realistic.

Beautiful garden. Looks like it could be a cover for Fine Gardening.

An honest attempt at what I interpret as photographic impressionism. I'll bet your score sucks right now. 7

No filters in a filter-heavy challenge but still a lovely image, I love the greenery. Good luck!

Very much impressionistic in style. The subject (bench) really needs more weight for my taste though. Perhaps a path leading your eye toward it or some burning around the bench to make it stand out. 6
