This has a painted effect that I did for a contest my photo club has called "Art in Nature". The effect was actually done with a filter from Topaz B&W Effects that is called Painterly that I modified slightly. That layer has its blending mode set to luminosity. Then a hue and saturation layer was put on top of that with the red and yellow boosted a bit. Here is a link to the straight shot: www.pbase.com/dlgphoto/image/118942920.
