    Hi grandmaR,

    I suspect it will only be a problem if used for commercial purposes. Same is true of images of people in the street, at least in the uk and excluding children images.

    Alan.

    Ps. I am impressed by the painting. It's something I certainly could not do.

    Thank you. But I think almost anyone could paint if they wanted to. It might not look like their vision, but there are cheats. In that painting I had help with the foliage.

    I'm not a good draftsman - that is I can't easily or accurately transfer 3 dimensions to 2 dimensions, but I love to work with color. I think painting has influenced my photography as I am unwilling to make a photo try to be a painting. So I eschew a lot of the special effects that some people use. Even making a photo monochrome when I know it was originally color irritates me.

    PS - I think you are right about the Eiffel Tower.

    Here are a few...


    Santorini, Greece


    Hallstatt, Austria

    Paris

    Kent - Each of these is very fine, and I especially like the second for its framing and leading lines.

    9 hours to go if you are thinking of submitting. I'll actually be in the air at that time but will close as soon as my feet are on the ground again.

    Probably the opposite in my case (for some pics) as I'm looking for backgrounds / foregrounds that will render in a 'painterly / colour wash' manner on the pic, without there being any need to use any PP / special effects :)

    Not plain, but good, non-distracting textures, with colours that're in keeping /harmony with the subject.

    Just another case of 'each to their own', eh? :)
