| | I thought this came out pretty cool  ...and it was easy too...
1) Make a duplicate layer.
2) Adjust threshold on the background layer.
3) On top layer apply gaussian blur (around 9)
4) Set blending to darken and opacity at 82%
5) Flatten image
6) Filter>stylize>diffuse
the second one added a frame

| | cardmnal: very cool effect!
Tyler: Do you recall the source of the "ice filter"? That's a very interesting result. |

| | | Ok, here's mine.
PSP7.
Photo 1:
Grey layer over original, erased apples and some leaves, save version 1.
Version 1: used effect/texture/sandstone, (reliëf: blurring 7, detail 34, brightness 20, lightening corner 11), saved version 2.
Version 2: selected all.
Version 1: pasted version 2 as layer over version 1 and merged them 57%.
Resized 90% and added some colored frames.
Photo 2:
Used effect/artistic effects/colored contrast (blur 8, detail 11, color HTML code #BA6262, corner 44).
Copy all and push backbutton to original and paste as layer.
Merge layers 70% and choose 'difference' (arrow right).
Saved all, resize 80% and added some colored frames.

| | Here's mine. I used Photoshop Elements for this one. I did an Auto Levels adjustment and then a Hue/Saturation adjustmant layer. I played with different settings until I chose the one that I liked the best. (I like Granny Smith apples  ) I played with the Impressionist brush, and then applied a glass filter. Then I used the Smudge tool to blend some more. I think I may have rearranged some layers at some point, too. Loved everyone's work as usual. |

| | | Looks like the apples from our tree; these are wonderful renditions. Here's my try
Used ErickN's watercolor action. Turned up the saturation a bit and used a watercolor texture instead of the action texture.
Used a medium size oil brush from WOW collection. |

| | | Nice renditions all.
I just eroded the edges and then used Impressionist Paint Small Daubs, with a small brush and canvas texture.
