Photos get the painted on canvas treatment

[Timgod]

Here were a couple really nice shots from the other day that I decided to try with a new painting filter in photoshop.
It gives a painted on canvas look that is kind of cool.
I am putting up the original untouched files so you can see the difference the filter makes.

That first lily is a new seedling of mine from this year.
It looks a lot like N. Panama Pacific but the color shade is a little different, closer to N. Tina it's pod parent.
It's not remarkably different and it also is not a vivip so I'll just enjoy it and maybe try crossing back through it later.

The second is obviously N. Jack Wood. This painted effect is cool. I am using it as my computer background at the moment because it really caught my eye even before I snapped the shutter on the camera.
Oh BTW, the filter is called Snap Art 2 by Alien Skin Software.

Pretty, Tim.

I've seen artists / photographers use that technique, or a similar one, to make their prints or photographs look like oil paintings.
