Howth Peninsula

Superb crisp photograph, but it is a photograph as so does not belong here.

It's still a brilliant shot even if it is a photograph 😃

Looks like you may have started a debate with this one. My first thought was it is It an extraordinarily good image. Is it a painting? Clearly not. But then, in the literal sense, neither is "digital" painting. Is it art? The answer has to be yes. It looks to me like a great photograph in the first place, with somewhat pleasing enhancement. It would be fascinating to see the original photo, so the digital enhancement can be appreciated. But the site is "Painters Online" so perhaps the rule should be it starts with a blank canvas, even if the canvas is digital. It would also help to have a digital art category too,

With every respect for a great/superb photograph, that's what this is. Sorry, but paintings wouldn't be submitted on a photography site, and photographs don't belong here on a brush pen and pencil site. There are dozens of photography places on line so why put them here except as a display of work medium? Works we create and display rarely get much time on site due to so many enthusiasts; this is great, but put photographs in and it wouldn't be worth the bother of submitting anything. Just my view...

Great photo that would make a fabulous painting. Brian
