Orchids - Paint.NET - PhotoPaint - Painter

A photograph taken by my son Keir M. Gatzka of Orchids at the produce market last summer.

I opened it in Paint.NET and applied a pen and ink sketch filter along with a painterly filter for a start. I saved that and opened it in PhotoPaint. There I applied the Tone Curve and boosted the saturation for depth and color. Then with Filter Forge's Freepack 3 I used a watercolor frame. Adding a 10 pixel black border.

In Painter I added Apply Surface Texture> Image Luminance> for the texture ( see the larger image for details. )
