This is another triumph, Nikolay! The impressionists would be so envious if they could see this!

really nice treatment, it looks even better in the zoom where you can appreciate the detail more, wonderful work

Fantastic,

Outstanding work my friend. God bless.

I love these pics, just like a painting.

You are the master at this genre; superb, absolutely breathtaking work!

This just drips with impressionism, and the sunlight gives it the look of honeyed-impressionism, which is even better! I love the way you can take a photograph and made choice amendments and turn it into something even more pure! This (and other works you've presented) remind me of poetry: primarily haiku or tanka poetry from Japan: there's always a crisp, clear image, but then there's a turn: a "flip" of some sort that goes from the literal and visual into the purely emotional. I love the way that happens in Japanese poetry, and the way something very similar happens in your visual work! It's a nice bit of continuity, and it's always so refreshing to see. As usual, this is brilliant! I wanna ride that tram, now, and see where it goes...

brilliant my friend. I think your efforts are working very well..

fabulous image

Magnificent!

I like what you've done with this technique, and this one, with the light behind the tram, is a rousing success! I think the subtle color changes, the way the light moves from one side to the other, is an especially good subject, or starting point, for your "photo-painting." It's a soul-satisfying, yummy result!

Love it! Wonderfully done!

WOW! It is fabulous. I love what you did here, Nikolay.

It does look like a painting from impressionism era. Excellent image and postwork!

Beautiful! Wonderful painterly appearance!

Stunning image, love the impressionism effects you used!! Nice work!!

I can feel the warmth from the sun emanating through the trees, which must be fine for the people sitting there at the 'alfresco' cafe, enjoying their cappuccino ... and you captured the moment and situation very well, with a few strokes of your 'digital painting' ;)) BB

Striking painterly effect.

I love the effects you have produced here..wonderful result, .the light, warmth.and overall impressionistic effect..as so many have commented on. Your gallery is full of beautiful work. Congratulations!

To me, all is 'in fire', Nikolai! i love this appearance of an 'enlightened' chaos. The tram comes like a ghost, pointing the headlights strongly ...but why? And it seems that there is any driver and that nobody at his side, can see him also. I love the mistery that you created in this scene, playing with light and shadows and with your emotional brush strokes. The emotions that you bring out of your photos in your paintings impresses me. Much to see here and zoom is a must!

Another of your imagination-transformed city-scapes, with a jagged-edged impressionistic (ala Chip's comment) breakup of the scene into little cells of energy. It moves. But the light bathes the scene in a kind of basking glow. And the lines you've put into this---light-lines that shoot off of surfaces and fly through space---make the image sparkle, as if seen through a very 'living' mirror. One of the things about your postwork is that you don't apply filters: You transform the image 'with' filters, they're a very dynamic tool. This isn't a photograph placed into a filter, it's a complete vision wrested from a photo and a filter, where the true filter is your inner eye. The work with the light on the ground, the trees in foreground, the way you dissolve the image in the background into those bright yellows and then whites, the swoops across the road (like you took a palette knife to it) and so on---these are far beyond the use of filters. It's a marvelous, very alive rendering. And, like Ana says, it's got fire and enlightened chaos. Wonderful work as always, Nikolay.
