The Man fixed up before applying a bunch of filters then with a smothering of filters, actions, etc,...

Thanks for posting, OlBaldy. Nice work on your renditions.

I used DAP and several layers of the Impressionist filter.

Definitely a capture worth experimenting with OB; too bad I don't remember exactly what I did (or in your case, you might say thank God). lol

0lBaldy · #8 10-19-2011, 07:56 PM

SteveC, Aye, I think you be absolutely starboard.. and t' way your brush strokes go with t' flow, enhances it even more !

Lyle, I know what you did... You enhanced him and gave him character... looking Good!

This poor guy got the royal treatment which started with a collage of both images, Topaz sketch blended and followed by Topaz Bl&W. The funny stripes I put in for...balance? Not sure. I thought he looked sort of Hemmingway-ish.

0lBaldy · #10 10-19-2011, 11:08 PM

Wow Veronica, I hadn't thought of doing a Composite... What a beautiful rendition!

Your photo-montage certainly does give the gent a 'Hemmingway-ish' look doesn't it and the stripes are a nice accent.. ! Nice touch and very artistic

PwS Rembrandt Copper sketch (just making up sort of for my last wacky post; lol).

0lBaldy · #12 10-20-2011, 03:24 AM

The Rembrandt Copper Style in PostworkShop gives a nice refined sketch with tons of detail... great choice and Fine Job Lyle!!

Nice piece of work Alan !

I have noticed lately that the paintings have gotten better and much more realistic ... Superb Rendition !

CJ Swartz · #22 11-07-2011, 03:43 PM

Nice rebuttal, OB.
Enjoying everyone's submissions.

CJ Swartz · #24 11-08-2011, 03:09 PM

Alan and Joe - really nice portraits!

Photomaster - you "slapped" some good ones on there - nice isolation of the subject and a nice look.

Nasturtium · #25 11-16-2011, 03:59 AM

messing around with Post Workshop

Janet Petty · #26 11-27-2011, 11:07 PM

Joeven, Alcar, and Photomaster, WOW simply WOW. Nice work.

ahutton · #27 12-01-2011, 05:20 PM

My take on this colorful gent

Amy Hutton

0lBaldy · #28 12-01-2011, 11:48 PM

CJ Swartz, nice work... really makes things stand out!

Photomaster, reminds me of Opal Glass soft/diffused but rich with detail!

Nancy, crisp B/W then some aging with mist/fog nice effect!

Janet, nice treatment and isolation... looking good!

Amy, nice strokes and a very nice artistic rendition!

Beautiful work by everyone !!

Crapaud · #29 03-17-2012, 05:34 PM

Missed this first time around.

I guess from the quote you've posted from Itsoscar that he doesn't think much of photo-art, Ol'Baldy.
