I just saw a great photo in egazelle’s photostream that had been modified with something called the “Orton Effect“, so I was eager to try it out myself. This is the result. What do you think?

Stunning. Real HD. How did you do it? I’ve been researching the technique but haven’t been able to come up with any as good. Congrats.

That’s funny, I was just looking this information up again today. =)
The best links/tutorials I’ve found on how to achieve this effect are:
The Orton Effect - PCIN Tip of the Week (Photoshop Elements 5)
How to duplicate the Orton Effect in Paint.Net (Paint.NET)
It’s reasonably easy, and the steps outlined at both of those links are quite good. Hope that helps!
