Smudge - maybe??

I thought this might make a good one for you smudgers out there, though I'm not limiting posts to that only.

OB very nice extraction there on the retouch. But you are risking the wrath of 'SHE' who must not be named if you don't at least try a smudge one day.

Look forward to seeing that one, glasses can be tricky.

I can't tell you who 'SHE' is as I value my skin intact, plus as I say 'SHE' cannot be named

No not shirking, getting ready to go to a sad event tomorrow, I lost my sister at the weekend, and needed a bit of a diversion so visited here.

So sorry for your loss. I haven't yet experienced the loss of my sister, but it would be horrible.

I did use my computer,a lot, to get thru Cancer tho.

Thank you, you guys are --- words fail me.
Your all right, it kept my mind of things for a while.

but what unusual eye colouring ?

Okay I delayed as long as I could. Here is my attempt at this one.
Thanks for putting it here to challenge us.

I hope 'SHE' isn't lurking here.. Tis my sincere desire to escape her wrath!! (for I have tried the elusive Smudge and failed!)

I was thinking about expanding beyond your traditional portrait and/or restoration, retouching and colorizing... So I thought about when I first started using Photoshop, back when most of my work looked like this!

Hmmm... this almost looks like my smudge attempt.. Maybe I have NOT come along as far as I had hoped!!

Actually, this is just my feeble attempt at trying to make Peter Smile..
