Just for Fun: the Photoshop Oil Paint Filter
Always good to play.
If an image is strong to being with, the results are very enjoyable—soothing and not so demanding as the originals—reduced to essentials. And that is a useful feedback loop (reducing to essentials) when making images.
The look reminded me immediately of the Fujifilm sensor artifacts that I do not want in my original image. That should not be misunderstood—I don’t mean the look seen here at an overall level (which is pronounced), but the tendency to stylize natural patterns in an odd way—fractal like—when approaching sensor resolution.
