I like the way this simple application of the smart filters changes the look and feel of the overall image. Added a sandstone texture and poster edges at the end.

Ran across this pic while looking through some old memories in my LR catalogue and thought I'd see what smart blur would do with it. It's the house at Polesdon Lacey in the UK. I did add some extra texture with Topaz Studio 2 (I used a low opacity of Charcoal Sketchbook) and some final adjustments in Camera Raw. Did help what was a rather flat original.

And seeing if imgbb is working again

Wanted to try to have the background building have more detail and the two people have closer to the cartoon effect so processed them separately. Image added using cubeupload.
