Although the U.S. state of Montana is not highly populated, some beautiful scenery can be found there.

Underpopulated eh, then its Montana for me. Beautiful scene Danny.

Torn edges.
Duplicated background and ran sketcher, layer mode set to hard light.
Merged to new layer and ran VP Gouache.

Lovely result Christine, I love edges like this! Thanks Danny for another beautiful photo.

Paint Engine/Flakes setting + AIM/USM
Dupe above layer
L2 - PE/Flakes again
Merge both layers
Impressionist/Jaykita's WC A setting

Nice impressionististic version, Neve. Here's mine:

BG
A: copy BG. Impressionist: WaterColor Spotty Brush on Rough Paper (modified from defaults)
B: copy BG - (dissolve ~50%)
C: MergeVis (A,B). ColorPencil. (Hardlight)
D: copy BG sketch layer (Multiply)
E: RenderClouds. repeat Impressionist (Darken) added a layer mask to clean up leakage outside the sky.
Now reduce opacity of layer B to about 20%

Enjoy. -Mark

I travelled through parts of Montana when we came from Ontario to BC. Must have had my eyes closed, parts of the state is incredibly beautiful.
Duplicated and flipped vertical, skewed to roughly fit and changed to Soft Light.
Added a Velvia action.

Cheers

I ran a median filter over it, and then paint dabs, hue & sat. In Painter I used oil brush cloners, then back to Photoshop to add texture (Wow) and a border that I had from one of my art pieces.
