Processed to look like an oil painting ... my first try at this, so we'll see.

You've really enhanced an already spectacular duck- I really like the bright colors that complement the drake-especially the floating leaves. It's nice you've kept the eye and feather details relatively sharp. Excellent, gorgeous work, and on the first try!
(If this was mine I'd love it. But I just might be tempted to clone out one of the 2 eyes in the reflection as long as the image is being manipulated anyway). ;)
A minor detail in the overall picture, and one a lot of people would completely ignore. Just fussy, me....

Thanks Cynthia, I did have a look at the ripple in the eye .... and got lazy, I should have fixed that a bit.

Thanks for the Editor's Pick and to Gary, Cynthia and E.J. for the very generous comments I appreciate them. I may need to have another go at this technique again .... just need to find a suitable image.
