After browsing around on internet I found a very beautifully stock-photo-portrait on a site, after that the curious eye of mine had checked the other internet-site-users, how they had used the portrait, their results and further on I was greeted by a big disappointment, instead of embellished the image they had rather done the opposite, ruined it. I felt that the portrait and the woman in the picture was "worth" so much more and therefore I determined that I would give the image a try and here is the result! Enjoy!
The image and its beautiful colors is easily created by repeated and different kinds of blending mode. No big deal really.

It looks like you've just placed the texture over the face and used multiply. It would be alot more believable if you spent some time working on a displacement map and using that on the texture first.
sorry James, i used a displacement map...
I'd go back and adjust the values of the map, because there's hardly any displacement, and to be honest it looks flat. Also you need to post the source link for the ladies face
and it's not "only" multiply. But thanks for your comment. Maybe you are right and it could be done better...
We can only guess what steps you've taken... if you want more informed feedback for future entries it might be worth doing a more detailed sbs, beginners may also be able to get tips from looking at it too.
added the source...
I will leave it like that, for me it's at this point ok. Maybe on the next pic...
No comments yet? Hmmm...this is a well made image except IMHO for the composition. GL author.
Well apparently not! Thank you very much but what does the abbreviation IMHO stands for? I chose to use the pretty-thirds rule, which is a very successful composition within modern photography and design that makes the screen appear to be very stylish. Was that some kind of answer to your comment I didn't really understood?
IMHO means"in my honest opinion"
Howdie stranger!
