You need to make the subject come forward, visually, from the background. I like the oil paint effect, but as shown here, the background is the first thing I notice. Lighten the animal. Darken the background.

My opinion is worth exactly what you paid for it.

I might try darkening the background, but I also like this the way it is.

I Like this effect a lot, but applying the filter to te whole image didn't work ideally., imo.
I agree that the antelope should stand out more, so perhaps apply the filter only to te anmal, and darken and simplify the BG.
Very creative work!
