That Doesn't Look Like A Photo

Challenge #24 in the Technology Enabling Art series. Hosted by ProfHankD.

Challenge has finished

This is a challenge for photos that have been post-processed to not look like photos. It could be something as simple as a posterization or as complex as a custom "art filter." Your entry must include some text describing how you post-processed the image.

Announced:

Thursday, 14th June, 2012 (GMT)

Submissions:

Thursday, 21st June, 2012 – Wednesday, 27th June, 2012 (GMT)

Voting:

Thursday, 28th June, 2012 – Wednesday, 4th July, 2012 (GMT)

Processing rules:

The post-processing must not involve substitution of hand-drawn content; it should be a transformation of a single captured photo. Adding a canvas or other texture, or computer-generated effects like shaped flare, is permitted.

Capture date rules:

No restrictions.

Additional rules:

Say something about how you post-processed the image: an in-camera art filter, the oil painting filter in GIMP, etc. ENTRIES WITHOUT TEXT SAYING HOW THE IMAGE WAS PROCESSED WILL BE DISQUALIFIED!
No photographs of paintings, etc. -- the non-photographic look must derive from post-processing, not the original scene content.

This challenge has produced some of the most outstanding images I've ever seen. I have virtually zero experience in PP, so I really don't have a clue as to how to get results like these. Wow! is about all I can say. This has inspired me to want to learn some of these techniques. I think it would be great if the top challenge entries would be so kind as to give a tutorial on how they've managed to achieve such awe-inspiring pieces of art! I'd also like to see the original picture, but I don't know how we'd go about doing that. Just my random thoughts on this challenge.
Thanks for posting these wonderful works of art and keep doing what you do!
Best wishes to you all in the competition!
