Great work, man!! Very nice result and the mood is so attractive to me. I gave you a high mark, but would be even higher if you take more time to make the face more asymmetric (I know you noticed that because this face now is not totally symmetric) but it can be performed better. Best of luck, I like it a lot

great work

This is awesome beyond words!!!!!!! Amazingly creative and perfectly constructed...high marks, author!

Very nice work, author!

Might have been good to make the hood asymmetrical too, but this is excellent otherwise.

Quite good! a bit repetitive though from side to side, but it works anyway! sweet image.

Wow, a "new" old man is born from the original image. Very well done!
But I agree that you could work on the hood symmetry a little bit.

Thanks for the comments! Always appreciated! I went back and made additional alterations to make the face and hood more asymmetrical.

nice work

Nice job Very clean work

A different hat, something other than that gray hoodie he was wearing, like a merlin wizard cap would have made for a better fit but this works too. GL!

Really amzing work and idea.! Love your entry

second to none idea with a master's touch.... ...... .....perfect..!

Nice clean work....i did something similar but you beat me to the punch so i didnt submit it.

on what Langstrum said...maybe use the liquify tool and bloat one of the eyes slightly to make it not so symmetrical but still an excellent chop

Nice Job

Great work..., good luck...

very very nice work author...One of the top entry's for sure...I have the same nit pick as freejay,he's vest is to tight...

Shadows are inconsistent or missing. (Like inside the hood on his left side, and there wouldn't be a hand shadow on the chest).

Very nicely done! The filter should only be applied to the canvas, not the frame, and IMO should be toned down just a bit, but still excellent work.

Very nice and realistic, but I also agree with both about filter.

To CMYK46, Nator, erikuri: Thank you guys! I've updated image with new fraimed one.! Is that looks better? Thanks again.

Canvas is still too filter heavy. (Rembrandt would never have made such heavy texture.).

I have changed filter as suggested, thank you! I have also corrected an eye and hat a little bit.

nice idea

Looks great in high res now...good luck, author!

Thank you CMYK46 ,much appreciated!

Thank you Chuck!

Nice work....as an oil painting, it needs a little bit more texture.

Excellent!

Thank you All, for your nice comments, votes and FAV - I am really appreciate it!

Good thinking!

Very Creative! Good luck!

something different... well done

Extremely creative author...and you paid nice attention to details. Great work and good luck!

Nice effects with the water!

Great job.., but you need to have a closer look at the lighting/shading of the man inside the boat.., good luck
EDIT: looks better now...

Very nice, I like this

Thanks folks!
