Thank You for the explanation. Agree with You. Congratulations for the winner. Grate job.

Ditto

Haha, yes it was intentional. I was playing with the oil paint filter in ps. So far I have not been impressed. This was the edit before the filter. I wanted to see what other people thought of that filter. I guess I got my answer. But Congrats to Pebal!

Congrats Pebal,

Ryan, as per Stiga's comments on your win Pebal is not a photographer, that's why he awared you the win, I think you need to name a new winner, so someone can post up the new challenge

Ok...based on original edits and comments. I'll go with Benitoite as the runner up and next photo poster/judge.
