I worked all day fine-tuning my painting presets. I am not there yet. Please go to the completed image which is posted below.
Extraordinary!
Nice composition and colors, but may I suggest softening/removing the texture on her face? That texture may work for a grizzled male but not so well on a young pretty female.
I agree with Michael. Don’t care for the texture in the face.
I agree that is what I solved this morning… I have yet to display it. Thanks
This morning I completed this image.
Absolutely!! Love it!!
Second one is great.
Love the new version …nice work.
I’m in love! Very nice work.
I love this second version!
One of the best, if not the best of all the lovely portraits posted here the past several years! Second image hit the grand prize vote for me…
Very nice work. I like both versions and don’t really have a problem with the texture in the first version. Maybe it’s my experience seeing and photographing a reasonable amount of street art. I can imagine seeing the first version on the outside wall of a boutique as I window shopped in the city.
Best regards
Superb!
Love the revised image, very nice !!
Liked the first one but love the second one.
Love your image and the smooth look of her face in the second photo! May I ask how you got that smooth look?
Vey beautiful!
Thanks to everyone for your kind words.
You did one heck of a job…you had a beautiful model to work with.
