Photo Editing Assignment- Part One

I realized that the reason my HDR picture didn't look very interesting in the first set of pictures is because I did not have it in the complete edit mode.  I had simply merged the photos for the draft version. Here is a finished version of the UK picture from the draft! This is with a Painterly setting. 

Here are a couple other HDR pictures that I was able to put together using Photomatix.  I did not have a tripod for either picture- I used a bucket for the gutted fish picture and luck for the cross picture.  These were taken in High Island, TX by mixing three exposures. 

Photo Editing Assignment- Part TWO

Using any of the image enhancement options (such as levels, watercolor filter, etc. in Photoshop Elements; Topaz Simplify or other Topaz filters, Smart Photo Editor; or any other type of photo editing tool, create an "enhanced" image from a photo you have taken. 

The Enhanced Photo

The photo below was enhanced in Photoshop.  

It was enhanced with Filters --> Texture --> Craquelure

I found this picture interesting as it looks like you can touch the "layers" of the flower.
