Okay, Janet - this is what you get for encouraging me: I did another one.
CS2/Painter again.

LonK: You are TOO funny. First the eyes on the old man and now the jaw on Inez. Great caricatures.

Dcoats: This one is even better than the first one. Way to go!!!

i seem to like to crop portraits closer than most.

Janet Petty · #19 03-27-2008, 07:27 PM

Very nice Craig. I think the crop added a lot to the statement and mood of the photo. Thank you.

Mine is a combination of smudge and sharpen plus a funky curves adjustment for the background.

AHB version

Craig - you have a good eye--the crop really works.
Janet, that's some nice smudging. You made it look painterly without obliterating the detail. Nifty.
Alex - I wouldn't have guessed AHB. I really like what you did with it.

alexmeta · #23 03-28-2008, 09:33 AM

DC, thank you.
It was AHB on Fractalious.

Alexmeta: Very, very nice chiaroscuro style. It looks very old.

Thanks for the kinds words Dkcoats and Sylvia.

Thank you, Janet for nice photo and friendly comments.

Another version: just AHB

Kraellin · #27 03-29-2008, 10:31 PM

thought i'd do another. a mix of a filter forge filter and some Paint Shop Pro work

Janet - A very nice image of age. Just a matter of taking our turn, is it not?

Very creative renditions posted.

Alcar · #29 03-30-2008, 12:04 PM

Had to try one more...this one painted with the impressionist plugin.

First, let me say that I'm glad this thread has inspired so many entries. I love people with lots of character in faces. It makes me think about who they are, what they have been through, and about their value as a person. This lady's face is so very intriguing;& I hoped you would find her value in the art you have posted. Kudos to all who have undertaken this portrait. Superb work all.

Alexmeta: Very interesting with the play of color and light. I stared at this for a long time and enjoyed all the nuances.

Craig: I don't know what to say about this one except good job. It is very different and makes me think of ancient ruins, metallic busts, and finding treasure.

Lqqker: WOW, superb work (as always). I don't know how you achieved this particular effect; but it is stunning in its detail and impact.

Alcar: What you are doing with Impressionist is amazing. I can't ever get it to perform that well. I love the colors, the lights and darks, the mood.

Thank you all for your work.

Janet
