Thanks that one is a mix, the out of focus swirls sort of feel is from the lens but the oil Painting kind of look to the edges I added in photoshop :)

Ah photoshop, I used that too, for designing...

I use lightroom and photoshop to edit all of my photos as I shoot in RAW mode on my camera so I can choose how it looks myself ;)

I've heard of lightroom, but haven't had the chance to explore it yet.

I pay a monthly Subscription for it and use it extensively for all my photos its a bit of a learning curve but very powerful

I heard that before from a photographer friend.

BUt trust me it is worth it to learn :)
