John, I love the scene. This must have been great to see in person. The DAP is a perfect finishing touch for this. It has an old world feel to it that adds nicely to the image.:S3:

John, nicely done! I love all the geometric shapes and angles and the lighting. The filtering makes it look like a pastel painting.:S3:

Hi John, I really like the painterly look and feel. Nice base image to start with! The colors and composition are very pleasing to the eye. Good job with the effects.

Your painted effect is very realistic! Nice base image and filtering.

This is beautiful, John. I like the perspective and the DAP has made this more effective. Beautifully done.

Painterly feel to this wonderful image. It works very well. What is DAP?

Incredibly lovely. The colors and the style are superb.

DAP is something like Digital Art Painter where you can pick a famous artist and apply the effect to your images. I think that it is covered in Denise's Guide to Filters and Effects. She will know for sure and can provide a link.

Thanks everyone for your kind words, and taking time to comment! Much appreciated.

Artie, thanks for looking in, commenting, and helping explain DAP! It helped to save this point and shoot image.

Anita, you can download a trial version for free.
