Lots of things; blending of Impressionist, Retinex and a few other things.

I needed an image on which to try a frame action... Rolf lost.

E-mail if you'd like to give the action a go.

That is a cool frame Danny. I really like the shadow that is cast.

This is a very cool image to play with, and everyone has done a great job.

Here's my effort, mostly done in Painter using a WOW! Wet Acrylic brush.

(Danny, I tried the frame action, and I totally flopped! Got nothing even close to your results.

I'll keep trying.)

Beautiful job, Cat.
That was the picture that was waiting to be painted.

(So many colours, for a minute I thought is was a "Jaykita")

Not to worry, Cat...that frame would have detracted from this outstanding work.

FWIW after I ran the action, I messed with Layer Styles quite a bit. The action just builds a basic frame.

cat,

very nice. reminds me of one of those 50's magazines....GQ i think was the name of the one i'm thinking of. they were doing 'modern' back then and yours reminds me of those.
