Its very beautiful. Has it been converted from a photo or is it a painting?

Thanks for the comment hardeep, the shot is basically a HDR consisting of nine exposures, which I think has contributed to the painterly look.

Hey longside! (politik from cafe)

Still loving the colors and composition. Good to see you here

Nice image, interesting approach! I'll have to try something like that with one of my shots from the Rialto Bridge. Only thing, I would lighten up the sky.

Beautiful place, but don’t you think the water tonality not matching sky (weather condition)?

The clouds... I guess that's why I'm not a real fan of HDR. The clouds usually come out menacing and ominous. Besides, what's left to paint? LOL

I like this shot, althought the water is a little bit too bright for the weather/conditions. Maybe something like this? A rough edit but an idea :P
I hope you do not mind my adding to your shot.
