I came across the below photo while browsing Wikimedia Commons. (Photo by Fourbyfourblazer)

My Question, how was this photo processed to obtain this effect?

HDR, Photoshop Filters, What?

    \$\begingroup\$ The effect here looks quite a bit different than the original that Kim linked. Did the wikipedia commons one have additional post processing done? \$\endgroup\$

I used Photoshop with Topaz Labs Denoise and Adjust.

    \$\begingroup\$ You should have seen my reaction when it was "you" replying. My mouth dropped open and I laughed out loud. What can I say? Hiding my adoration for your work with that photo is not possible. Simply wonderful! I can't wait to see more of your works on flickr. May your holidays be harmonious and offer you surprises like you just gave me. This was great! \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ Thanks for the appreciation. The photo is an early version of my work. There are far more talented people than me. If I just had some training I'm sure the quality of my work would be of greater interest. Using Photoshop Elements 9 with Topaz Labs filters has brought life to my dull photos. :-) \$\endgroup\$

Looks like LucisArt to me. Could be Topaz Adjust, or any HDR program.
