Had to try and salvage a shot I REALLY was looking foward to. Unfortunately, had a little too much blur from something (not sure what) that I didn't notice when shooting, so I couldn't save it. I did add some playful artsy stuff to it in post. Nothing really original in the post-treatment here, but it gets across my feelings from this photo...color contrast, and reflections in the water. **sigh**
I think I ended up using a mixture of techniques. Added a canvas texture of course...the painting effect was accomplished with several steps (I didn't like the way the filters made it look on their own).
