I really really love the effect of these photos turned in paintings. This is one of my favourites.
I wrote about this a couple of months ago. I use Topaz Simplify to create these stunning painting-like pictures. I find with certain circumstances it can change an already lovely picture into something very special.

I shot this one on the Nelson Mandela Bridge in Johannesburg. It was a beautiful morning with the most gorgeous clouds. Fortunately the traffic was quite (being a Saturday morning), so I could jump in the middle of the road for a few moments while I captured this beautiful scene.
