| | | Re: Creative Portraits: Jinny in the Garden Thanks for the play Danny. Been really trying to simplify my renderings of late to the point where no trace of photography is noticeable. Results usually means abstraction, but I hope this one works anyway. Sorry about the low quality (22%). |

Snook | I thank you Snook.
Used mostly Paint Shop Pro with Lucis Art and did some layer blending.

| | | Re: Creative Portraits: Jinny in the Garden I like that its a nice crisp conversion. B&W can have such a great effect with pictures.
