Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Not sure why I like this photo, to me it has an oil painting feel to it. It was one of many portrait orientated shots I took. Was going to turn it into a pano but haven't done so as yet as I was drawn to this shot.

I also really like this - it makes you feel like you're about to step into the picture and follow the path to .... somewhere? but where? ... which hints at an untold story to me and that's why I like it, I guess.

Nice Kipper, I am not up to pace with the landscape scene but it looks pretty good to me with the mountains in the background.

Good shot......but it looks a bit over saturated {too yellow} and a bit over sharpened

Yes it's over saturated to try and obtain an oil painting look about it. Might of gone a bit over the top though. As for over sharpening, where?

I didn't even apply a USM to it.

Just the way it looks on my 20in moniter, must be the over saturation, have you tried the brushes in PSCS in filters to give it a painting look
