PHOTO ART: Mini-challenge #94 – Hold the Phone

repaint to Irish girl

OK, here is my attempt at this image. This is the first time I have taken part in a challenge since this is my first post (I registered yesterday). Please let me know if I have done anything wrong regarding site protocol or posting.

The image is meant to duplicate an oil look. My original is in 3200x2400 and took a bit of work due to the small size of the original and the massive amount of jpg compression. The usual tools were used (especially the smudge brush but also the regular brush and dodge and burn brushes). Brightness/Contrast and the Photo Filter were used in post. Everything was done in Photoshop CS3.

Thanks.

Looks like this one made a comeback, so decided to try a Dutch oil painting like effect this time.

Nice one Shatterer and Lyle.
After that one Lyle I thought I'd lighten it a bit

Lyle,
You're image looks really nice. It's interesting seeing the different styles and interpretations used in these images. Since I'm new here seeing these various images gives me new ideas to try later.

Peter,
I like you're interpretation. Having looked at all the images in this mini competition you are the first to go light I believe. Very nice.

Another version of the phone gal. Used AmphiSoft simplifier, PE poster2 and finished up with Impressionist acrylic.
