Lets see if people actually read the description shall we? This looks like a painting yes? well no its not its a photo but I've applied 1 filter to it in Photoshop just one the new "Oil Paint" filter in CS6 then added a border and I've ended up with a image that looks like a painting. You don't get this effect with every photo it works on some and others it just looks fake it works hear because this was original a HDR photo hear is my original shot [link] It works because there is so much detail please let me know what you think of this artistic effect
The depressing part is it came out looking better then my paintings ever did when I was still a painter can't call my self that anymore since I've not picked up a brush in about 5 or more years I wonder if I should do more of theses or is it cheating if I'm only using 1 filter? though it is a lot of work to get the HDR image to apply it to...
I wouldn't call that cheating at all. If you took the original picture and thought of the composition and took the opportunity to figure out what would look good then it's fine.
I think it would only be cheating if you hadn't taken the original and claimed it to be a fabulous new thing just by putting the filter over it as that's not really doing the work. But that's not something you do, so it's not cheating at all
