I like the possibilities on this one. Hope you do too.

I see no image Danny. Would like to try a Degas when you get it uploaded or linked.

Fixed!

"Degas, ho!"

[lkroll]

Degas made some wonderful sketches and especially his famous pastels, but he did some wonderful oils too. Went for emulating his oil but of course, like I've said more then once, I'm no Degas. lol

Again, thanks for the play Danny.

Well I do have DAP, so why not a Pastel too; added some Impressionist preset to the blend too. Attached is a crop; click below for the complete rendering.

Love the photo -- nice find, Danny.

Lyle, great job on both your versions but I'm partial to the second one.

Don't know if Degas did watercolors or not. Thought I would try one here.

Great job Lyle, Fran

Here's another go at a soft colored pencil.

Nice pic Danny and great versions Lyle, Fran and Skip. Thanks for the play.

Some super renders here. Glad I don't have to pick a favourite. <Smile>

The black background reminded me of those old black velvet painting . So thought what better than to run it through DAP using the Velvet Elvis AOP. Additional post processing in PSPv9.

Thanks Danny for the play

Appreciate the comments Fran; wonderful interpretations all. Now to hurt your eyes a bit with G'MICtilus (heavy on the Qix). lol

[Joeven]

I'll throw one in there.

Very good one GP 52...........!

After looking at a Degas it's pretty hard to do a ballet image justice.....This is not supposed to be a look-alike, but thought I would contribute.

Good photo Danny.

Just playing with with brushes

Still experimenting with this chalk pastel technique I concocted (very GIMPy, but still I ask not to ask yet; still missing something but edging closer to the look I want like Picasso's Rooster (http://www.allposters.com/-sp/Rooste...s_i290508_.htm). I'll settle for chalk right now.
