To make an Impression

I had an appointment in Portland today so I left early to take some pics. I loved as I was driving down this road with woods on both sides and then seeing the colorful foliage. I stopped and snapped this through my windshield. Then when I got home I played with it in Topaz Studio and applied this preset that made it look like and Impressionist painting playing with the brushes and frequency of strokes. Loved the results. The road and air were clear but some how there is what appears to be leaves floating in the air and on the road.
Looks good on black.

Makes quite the impression! Works so well!

I recently noticed that Topaz Studios is free, at least a beginner version of it, I think? Do you like it? Do you use the free version?

@shesnapped The topaz studio free portion is good for basic adjustments. I brought the whole pro adjustments which give me a lot of the features you get in the various filters of of Topaz Labs. What I say is load the Studio program and play with it. It is free after all. I have heard that Nik Collection may go away and Topaz Studio could fill its place.
