Challenge: Photograph Becomes a Painting (Expert Editing)
Camera: Canon EOS-5D Mark II
Lens: Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM

 First attempt at this.

This is the quiet Breznica valley near Skopje, in sunset. Magical place, relatively unknown. See any poppies anywhere? Neither did I, and I went out looking for them. So, it turned out a completely different painting. Editing was mostly using the oil painting filter, I didn't really have higher aspirations nor time. It took a few tries to get what I wanted, and the wilder it turned the more I liked it :).
What I did differently was a resize first and editing second. Much nicer effect and painterly (yet somehow synthetic) feeling - votes and comments seem to agree :). Thank you!

This is a bold approach to stylization that I don't really want to like. But I do. Hmm.....

Wonderfully whimsical clouds. Not sure the effect works quite as well in the foreground for me. I'd be tempted to crop it out and let those clouds dominate the scene. I really, really like the clouds ;-)

This effect is wonderful for this scene. The unnatural curves compliment the natural curves in a nice way.

This is beautiful! My only issue with it is that reddish/pinkish line towards the bottom. I cannot tell if it is a road or what. I would have edited it out. :)
