Peps, these are all great. This is such a wonderful portrait to work on. Thank you so much for the opportunity to work on it.
I first extracted the man and painted him with the Pattern Stamp Tool. Added the flag and used the PST tool on it and another PST for the background. Merged them all and then took them over to painter and added an acrylics brush layer (bold brush strokes) and a little pencil pencil clone to bring back eye detail. Back to Photoshop for canvas texture. |

Earthman....fantastic!
I think also that the soldier with his back to the carnage that he has seen adds the poignant & somber feeling that gives this piece real meaning.
You really worked on this one and it shows.

So many good ones here that it's hard to jump in. Nevertheless, here is my interpretation of the photo after it arrived home after the war.

After seeing all the great interpretations of this young soldier I decided to keep it simple and do a sketch.
