earthman: I wish you posted a larger version because I really like this.

Sherry: thanks for the comments. Yours do have a texture that can almost be felt.

oltenius: You actually inspired me to do mine. You did a good job at your Aniso (been experimenting with various techniques on other forums for a few days now). I've recently learned about this term/concept (been doing it inadvertently for a long time, but now I have a name for it).

Ikroll, I'm glad to see what you wrote. I'm not an expert, but 1-2 attempts of my work seems to be a success! Thanks for your appreciation...

Earthman great look keep looking and looking don't know what style you would call it ( but then again i dont with any)
Northern shadow again great style adds a whimsical feel to it

Somehow not much turns out like I see in my mind's eye. Nevertheless, I liked the result of my experimentation with Impressionist and smudge combined. There are a few areas I could have worked on harder, I agree.

Thanks Danny for the cutie. She has the features that cameras seem to enhance even more.

Know what you mean Janet it can be annoying but you really have no problems that is great
Craig again nice filter work prefer the second one i think i hate it when there are choices it brings out my indecivness ( and the fact that i cant spell )

palms,

thank you

the second one isnt actually a filter forge work. i guess i sort of implied that with how i posted it, but it's not. it's just a simple duplicated layer, gausian blur and then a darken blend. very simple, but nice effect.
