The purple road kind of bothered me too, and I may tone it down some even though I have already, but I also thought it matched well with the bright yellow-green grass. I didn't use the film grain effect, but did in part have a blend of 3 layers using "find edges" under the "stylize" filter with "overlay" as the layer option. It's part of the same thing I did with the Memphis Brewery photo. Like nnelson1 said, "not quite a photo/not quite a painting", although the brewery colors remained closer to the original. If there were a car wreck here with police cars, ambulances, fire trucks and a huge crowd, then this could be my contest street shot!
