How would you achieve this type of image in Photoshop (CS5) ?
I am a fairly competent PS user but can't figure out how to achieve this tpe of image.

They look like destaurated base images overlaid with a subtle (flypaper) texture layer.

Also it looks like some diffuse glow/Orton effect is added to the base image which may or may not also be HDR..

You could take a look at/join the Texture For Layers group on Flickr
