HI Jill, Hi Jean, I am glad you changed your Avtar. NOw we can tell you apart.
Its nice to see you are having fun with Photo art, isnt it amazing how our attemps keep getting better and better. I know I have a totally different imagination then I did a year ago.
Came to my senses a bit!....here's my second rendition. (I liked Andrew's idea of something primitive ....I just kind of simplified a bit and took out a lot of detail...then zapped up saturation....overlayed with the line outlines ) (Note - the first one was just playing around with Apply Image)

Ken:
Great manipulation!

Sure glad you found this little playground. You certainly come up with some unique looks.

I was working on a tutorial (click HERE for "how to" -- 1st and 3rd posts) and came up with variation to illustrate a teaching point ("Double your pleasure, double your fun...")
And it makes quite a difference. So here they are :
1. with Color Range, Lasso and Magic Wand, I've selected four parts (sky, mountains, water and boat) and put them on different layers.
2. on the sky layer (blend mode - Normal) : used Adjustment layers to get the color and contrast : Hue/Saturation, Levels, Brightness/Contrast.
3. on the mountains (blend mode - Normal) : just Hue/Saturation Adjustment layer.
4. on the water layer (blend mode - Normal) : dup layer + Anisotropic (blend mode - Normal) ; dup this layer + Dry Brush (blend mode - Color Dodge at 57%) ; Hue/Saturation Adjustment layer.
5. on the boat layer : dup layer + Solarize (blend mode - Overlay at 50%) ; dup this layer + Chalk & Charcoal (blend mode - Color Burn at 50%).
6. flattened image.
7. added Levels and Hue/Saturation adjustment layers on top of all that to get a bit more contrast.
Hi, Andrew. I like the colors, too. As for the filters, I had used Anisotropic + Dry Brush on water before but the combination that surprised me is the Solarize filter (that I never had used before) plus the Chalk & Charcoal filter. They give more volume to the boat. I was trying lot's of things and got lucky with this one.
