Painting?
Lens: Sigma 18 - 250 Camera: Kx Photo Location: So.Cal. ISO: 200 Shutter Speed: 1/500s Aperture: F8 

I took this in JPeg not Raw and was unhappy with it so decided to try to save it in PP. I tried to make it look like a painting. Comments?

I think it works, but I'd try cropping a lot tighter to get rid of the dead space at the top. That would also help put the center of the left flower more along the top third of the image.

I agree with MSL about the crop. I like your "save".

Thanks all for your comments. I agree on the crop but I was constrained by the original composition, which was poor. It really was a save.
I will attach the original altered only by a resize so you can see what I started with. I
