| | I can't understand position of the kid, probably her face is most interesting like her back side, but I'm waiting, the earth turn around...  I used Levels, Auto color, Paint Daubs, Angled Strokes, embossed layer and texture. Nice photo Palms. |

| | | hi - this is my first "artsy" post - what do you think? i am not too happy with my shadowing. i never tried that before.
my favorite picture of my daughters is their backs to the camera looking out onto the ocean, i take one every summer of them, so i thought this would be a great photo to alter to reflect that pose.

| | | Oltenius Lovely posting i wanted this pose as i had in mind a painting on a beach etc ( also her parents are a bit dubious about posting a photo of her face on the web, ( i do have permission for this one though ) )
Philbach great one it as if she is wishing for something or not quite got the world at her feet yet ?
Dm Cher lovely of her on the swan one of my favorite birds
JohnnieB for a first artsy it is spot on and similar to what i had in mind for the photo ( want to do a painting with ahb )
Steve love it love it love it how did you do it just incase it can be replicated in Photoshop Please !
Kiska another one i love fabulous work
great work guys hope to see some more, i am unable to play for a day or so ( been called into work ) sob sob

| | | I tried to go for something loose and wild to contrast with the (seemingly) calm nature of the subject (please help me - I'm turning into my art teacher)
I hope the effect is as painterly as I intended, it may have lost a little something in the compression (had to go down to 25%) |

| | | Your welcome Johnnie!! And thank you for your kind comments. I first adjusted the photo levels, took out the background copy this and did lineart filter form xero. Merged this and copied the bottom edge of the flowers from the picture I added and past over the photo. |
