I used a new trial plug-in called Snap Art. Fun and easy to use, I image a lot could be done with it with more experimentation. The brush strokes are convincing, I think. You all know how much I love to enhance images to the point where they fade from reality. If I could just get a better grasp on more PS tools I think I would be able to create some really interesting work. I admire artistically manipulated images. Can't help it! LOL shu
Much better in Color, I think. For whatever reasons, the B&W just wasn't effective. But this version does work...interesting eyes on her also. Best Wishes, Traveller
I would refer the colour version over the bw, but I am sure there are contrary views as well. Nicely done. If you are comfortable doing so, please let me/us know in due course how this was done, please. Lovely work. Regards jnconradie
