Questions to guide your feedback
My impression of the confluence of a couple branches of a local creek. I want the scene to be recognizable as a landscape, but with an impressionistic look. Does this work? Is it in that happy medium between out of focus enough to be impressionistic, but not just blurry?
Any reactions welcome.

A wonderful image that just drips ‘painterly’ as a description. What truly grabs me is the fact that not a pixel in it is ‘tack sharp’ (in the usual photographic sense), yet I know exactly what I’m looking at. Very nicely done!
This quite lovely Bonnie! Mission achieved on presenting an abstract with a watercolor quality to it. I can almost feel the wet brush strokes. The muted colors work harmoniously to elevate the story and emotion of the image. Wonderful work!
Love this! Perhaps even more than your previous post. Even though this one is somewhat more structured and recognizable, I thin this is actually more impressionistic. You’ve most certainly achieved your goal on what you were hoping to portray.
Thanks, @Lon_Overacker. This one is closer to what I was trying to achieve than the previous one because it is more recognizable. The previous one is definitely more abstract.
