I like to mess about with my digital images - and after a little time, I changed what was a rather ordinary landscape photo into something far more pleasing. I have discovered "actions" in Photoshop can speed things up enormously, but every photo needs some manual treatment just to finish it off. I think the before and after images you see here quite clearly show what sort of thing can be acheived with PS. Nonetheless, the actual taking of the photo is what I enjoy doing, but of course the finished article rarely is what enters the lens... Only afterwards, can one enjoy the true beauty that a photographer strives to share.

Wow... that looks like something that should be in the National Gallery. Paul, it's beautiful. I like the oil-painting effect, and the mood of it.
ohhhh its like a Constable painting, lovely
what actions did you use? and did you know you can download more from the net and install them? I love actions.
The actions were from ActionCentral I think - ErickN watercolor and Bud's Matte frames. Just used a bit of curves and levels to bring out the hues...
