Shot through double paned window. I can't imagine that it would have looked any better had the window not been there.

Can you believe that there are, among us, those that still use film, and then show us their work after digitizing it? Some even have their own darkrooms. I grew up valuing each click of the shutter as I was not born of a wealthy family. With digital photography, the problem is no longer extant. I still, however, try to compose as I did in the film era and very seldom use the burst mode. I also feel that video mode is a useless feature on a quality SLR. Shooting hundreds of images means many hours of decision making regarding which ones to keep, and time is almost as valuable as film. My mantra is "use the digital camera as if it were a film camera".

Probably the most famous tree in the world. Photographed by Ansel Adams in 1940, and by Streets in 1964. Tree was pronounced dead in 1977.

Warning to those who dislike photos with post processing...Do not look at this photograph! 
This is a composite of two images of a Colorado Mountain stream taken with different shutter speeds, one to blur the water and one to freeze it, that were stacked and then selectively masked.

I don't like P.P. on steroids. But I did look at this one, and it didn't change my feelings about P.P.

Jeffrey Pine, Sentinel Dome, Yosemite National Park, 1964. The tree that Ansel Adams made famous.

I couldn't resist this pose. He's showing all his yellow bits.

It's great to see so many different concepts of moving water. All are very well done. Thanks to everyone who joined in and also those who just responded with comments.

Here's my favorite. It just seemed to have it all.

Excellent work. 
As far as I know they don't migrate. I see them all Winter long. Yours definitely have their Summer feathers.

We live in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. The only place they are found year round in Texas is the area around Texarkana. Anywhere else in the state they are Winter migrants.

The Goldfinches left our area about five weeks ago. Yesterday this Little guy showed up in full breeding plumage. He came back again today. This same thing happened last year and I'm thinking that this might be the same bird.

Absolutely outstanding! I would love to be able to see and photograph sights like these.

I like the squirrel in the tree!
Actually, it took me a while before I even noticed I had included it in my photo.

With a painting, the shapes and edges are typically clearly defined but the textures less so, and subtle gradations of colour are less likely to be accurately reproduced. To get a painterly effect manually I'd probably try lots of edge-based sharpening together with lots of de-noise, and I'd probably keep the contrast high and the colour palette simple. The wonderful thing is the original textures and colours aren't all that relevant, so noisy jpegs from old, cheap cameras aren't a no-no.
Your recipe is just about identical to the post processing that I did to the image of the tree. Thanks for your response.

Would be helpful if you included the unedited image with the edited version. :)
Here is the original as it came from the camera.

I had a bit of a brainstorm that I thought might produce an image that would would be similar to painting. I cranked up the ISO on my Sony A57 to a range That would give me a very noisy image (12,800). I figured that if I denoised the image and did some light and contrast manipulation, I might end up with something different. This is the result of my first attempt. I realize that this has probably been done before but maybe not.
