Thanks but April is just beginning. Hopefully I'll get a Bald Eagle shot this month that will be worth posting in the April thread.

Each time I see this it reminds me of a painting from the Impressionist era. Here is a painting by Edgar Degas. You should consider trying the oil paint feature in Photoshop.

I would, but for some reason the "oil paint " is grayed out in my PS. I'll google for a solution later.

I had the same problem when the oil paint feature was first discussed here. I think it was Marcel who came up with the solution. Mine works now. Check back to the posts where the feature was first mentioned.

Here...I found the info. This is what worked for me.

Which computer system are you using? Mac or Windows?
In both cases, you have to go under the Photoshop menu<preferences<performance and then check the box to use the graphic card and activate Open LC under the advanced menu of the graphic card options.
Hope this helps.

No go for me. I did everything that was suggested in the thread but the oil paint effect was still greyed out. (I'm on CC with the latest updates).

Since you got me thinking about this, I downloaded a free trial of Topaz Impression and came up with this. It's nice to play with, but for $99.00 I think I'll pass on it as I know I won't be using it that much.

Absolutely fantastic!!! And I like the style better than the swirled lines that Photoshop's oil paint feature leaves.

Topaz has some really nice plugins/standalone programs. The real nice thing is that they are all very fast responding. None of them that I have tried so far were sluggish at all.

I checked them out after you posted the photo edited by Topaz, but their prices are really expensive.
