I like this. The only question in my mind is, how well does this reproduce the colors and sense of place that were there?
A problem for me with all photo art programs: they do a good job of stylizing a photo, but they don't get to the fundamental difference made by an artist's imagination and skill. As a mechanical conversion, they can be good, bad or indifferent, but they are still at best a mechanical conversion.
I don't mean to put this down. I've certainly seen (and done) much worse. As a watercolor style, this works, although I think this is darker than watercolors I've seen.

I like this very much Danny; I think the effect you applied suits the scene very well. To my eye, there is one thing I would change, though: the sky seems a bit dark in relation to the rest of the image. I know, it's ART, so maybe that's the way you intended it. It's just the rest of the image seems to be in bright sunlight, so my eye expects the sky to be a bit brighter - not color-wise, I mean, but light-wise. Overall, though, I like it a LOT!!

Danny, I like the overall feel to this. However, I find myself wishing there was less saturation (or some other adjustment) to the BG. For me and my tastes, the strength seems to be carried almost entirely by that phenomenal foreground.
