Just wondering how many of you perform DDA's (Dramatic Digital Alterations) on your photos?

Anyway...here are some DDA examples...
This is "Colored Pencil"....
This is "Film Grain?".....Look Closely...

or this one:
I have a few others if you poke around. My point is, it's not cheating; it's art. You still have to take a reasonably good picture to begin with, and then make alterations that don't screw it up, like this (definitely not my best work:
