Instead of NIK Silver Efex Pro 3 I thought I would use the sliders for vibrance and saturation in LR and PS for this conversion. Oil Painting filter used in PS on the full color version before converting to B&W. I posted the color one in the past but it is here along with the pre-oil painting versions to show the steps to get to this result.
