Nikon 5100 nikkor 55-300 zoom ISO 400 F-25 1/125 I found this cactus in the desert and thought it was interesting. I used lightroom and tried to make it look like an oil painting instead of a print

George,

I think that's a pretty effect on the sky, really like the color. Interesting that you chose to apply the filter on just the sky and not the saguaro or the landscape. Creative choice!

Certainly an impressive cacti with lots of character. I would have like to see more shadow detail, but then again it's an artistic rendition, so there are no rules!

I am going to move this to the Photo Art gallery after posting my comments here. That gallery was created just for these kind of images. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns. And feel free to offer up some comments on some other images as well. thanks for sharing!

For my personal taste I feel the sky is over done. I would perfer to see more of the "oil painting" effect on the cactus rather than the sky.
