Nikon D70, 85mm Nikkor (prime)

This is really a test… I had been reading about various photoshop effects, and this is known as "orton."  It is well documented here: on pcin.net

I took a straight copy layer, named "core," then duplicated it… gave the duplicate a blending mode of "Screen."  Merged the duplicate layer down.  Copied that — named it "fuzzy."  Adjusted the blur and gave that layer the blending property "multiply."  Jiggered the amount of Gaussian blur — ended up at 28.9 (all will depend on source image depth of field).

Saved out to JPEG for upload here.
