More experiments with Photoshop

I posted the original of this photo on my daily blog. Then I decided it would be an interesting scene to experiment with. Above is the Filter => Artistic => Palette knife effect. Below I did some free hand distortion with the Filter => Distort => Liquify effect. The third picture is Filter => Sketch => Bas Relief effect. PhotoShop Elements has almost 100 different filter effects, with variable parameters for many of them. The trick will be to learn which effects work best with various subjects.
