Good one, Jerry. Great detail, but with that camera/lens combo, one would expect that. :-) :thumbup:

Oil Paint filter is is CS6 and Photoshop CC. The filter was dropped in Photoshop CC 2014. You could download Pixel Bender for Photoshop CS5 and maybe older versions of Photoshop. Here is a good tutorial for the Oil Paint filter:

When I use it for people, animals or insects I copy the eyes before applying the filter and paste them back afterwards. For more details in the brush strokes I use the Focus Magic plug in filter selecting "Fix out-of-focus Blur." In the settings use Blur Width at 2-4 and Amount at 100-300. All of this is subjective depending on the subject and the effect you want to achieve. Here are more of my painted photos:

That's one of the best uses of a PhotoShop painting effect that I've seen -- it just looks like it should. Also pretty sure you started with a very excellent photo besides. Nice creative work you've done there!
