Merced River Summer - Yosemite

This is another in the line of the Pixel Bender-Oil Paint filter

series. I list this mainly to share this new fine with my fellow

PNers. I am open to all questions for those of you who are interested.

I find this to be quite a beautiful way to present images, although my

first interest will always be a good "straight print." Your comments

and questions are always welcome. I will upload the original image for

comparison.

First of all, please view both of these large for to see the fine details. This was the image before Pixel Bender.

The shot was lovely and crisp - and this treatment has given it an extra finesse. It's great.  Perfect subject for this kind of treatment.

I like this effect very much. Not overdone.
