I worked with the orton effect in Dynamic Photo HDR. It's based on a single jpg. Comments are welcome.

No group invites please

HDR/orton

This did not start out as a close up. It's a severely cropped image which didn't hold up very well in the original cropping, so I tried several different painterly type techniques, none of which gave me what I wanted, and then I gave the Orton effect a try, and finally I like it.

HSS!

What to do if an image you really like is a bit soft?

Why, overcook the Orton effect like crazy and call it "Creative" off course.

Effet "Orton"

Here is a shot I don't do often and it does not really strike my fancy: Down hill water. I don't know why, but I'd rather see waterfalls going up stream. I liked this one for the foggy sky. Instead of having the foreground devolve into a misty background, I darkened up the foreground, have it dissolve so to speak into the background, but still have that misty quality.

Un intento con el efecto Orton

First try with the Orton effect

52 weeks of 2016 - week 13 Orton Effect. Didn't think I could manage to get this theme done, tried my best, lots of attempts, best of a poor bunch I think.

Those days I've been trying the Orton-effect, a technique developed by the photographer Michael Orton. His art is stunning and I'll keep on trying...
