I read about this pro grade sketch program and gave it a test. I does a very decent job of producing a sketch like photo. There are a lot of adjustment parameters to play around. Just wish it wasn't so expensive. Oh well, it was fun playing with it.
As I was post processing this photo, I noticed it was out of focus,(yes even I am capable of messing up a photo as hard as it may seem). To see if I can salvage it, I manipulated an effect called hdr. For this photo, I think it works pretty good.
