Hey All,
I really like this image. Nicely composed and processed. The only little annoyance that jumped out at me was the white pickup in the orchard. I might have tried cloning that out. But even it isn't that distracting.
This whole idea of making a photo look like a painting is fascinating. Do many Photographers do that? I quite like it.
One of my alltime favorite painters is Olaf Carl Wieghorst. The pics are from the following site and show his prints for sale. I've no financial interest. I just want to give credit where credit is due before I go on.

I've seen one photo processed so that the background ended up looking like a Wieghorst painting and that was by accident I think as I don't think that was the intent.
Were you aiming for an art style with this Tuscany photo or did it just happen?

PS Hmm Seems the file won't upload Oh well you can look at the prints at the site and see what I mean. Note there are several pages and 5 and 6 - I think - a couple mountain scenes.
