Wood Duck

This is my first post so I hope I do it right. I took this picture about a year and a half ago and thought it might make a nice painting.

Welcome to RetouchPRO, Klautt... You did just fine. Thanks for sharing your pic.

On my interpretation I used a couple Photoshop actions, both avalable from www.AtnCentral.com:

Mike Warren's Illustration Action
The "texture" action from set BMC Photo Art Painting Action

Thank you for your kind words Danny. I had a go at it with painter.

Welcome to the forum Klaut. Thought a tileable would help your duck friend. Here's what can be done with it.

Great duck picture -- I did a smudge painting --- my first attempt at that style by the way. Sometimes I feel like I am just blurring things but anyway please feel free to comment on my results. We have several wood ducks around our creek and I wish I could capture them on flim but too wild.

Used this tutorial to create it. Attached both the Cross Eye and the Right Side individual (just in case you want to combine it with your original for better print).

Klautt, Welcome to RetouchPRO! You're off to a great start with this photo. Thanks for the opportunity to play! :-)

I thought I'd give this a try after viewing on of Trimoon's tutorials.
