SLIGHT CHANGE IN CHALLENGE RULES:
I didn’t realize it at first, but if a screenshot of the map is included in the submisisons, it’s going to be difficult in some cases for me to know which image to include in the poll and which one to disregard.
Please do provide the link but not the screenshot.
If you included a screenshot already, please edit your submission post to remove it. I’m happy to help anyone with this if they don’t know how or don’t yet have forum permissions to edit posts.

Wow, that’s fabulous, @edgarej.
Thanks @sooz
I love how you took a random, ordinary street scene and turned into and interesting vibrant piece of art! 
Thanks. 
Amazing perspective and colors!
Here’s my submission. I got it in in time 
Thanks everyone for the advice! I don’t know if I followed it right, but I’m happier wth it at least 
Beautiful, @npc
East Java! Very nice @npc ! 
Beautiful work, very painterly. I aspire to make my work like this.
That is LOVELY! 
@sooz, @steve.improvthis, @Pfblakeney, @Elixiah Thank you all very very much!
I have three entries. A couple of my favorite places, Black Bear Pass - Colorado and Druid Arch, Canyonlands, Utah. And the optional urban scene, San Rafael Plaza, Spain.
@Elixiah ! Excellent as always! Very cool to see you working with different styles here!
@steve.improvthis Thank you! I have to say, the style of the first one is so fun. I’m gonna try more of these.
A painting of a statue of Jesus near polish town Świebodzin. I was planning to make study of a statue, so it was also a good practice.
I made some conscious changes. I moved the sun nearer the head in hope of betterment of overall composition. The crown hue seemed too dulled, so I added a little of golden colour. I also had to think a little with the head, as it is hard to get many detail from so low quality picture as from google maps. I increased contrast in some places, and tried to make the statue more bluish instead of greyish, to fit better sky behind it. And I did my best to lessen amount of details as further away from focal point (it refers mostly to plants and clouds). Hope you like it.
