You have some round yukkies you might want to erase just in front of the creature's face

Yea those dots were added by the Nik Filter and I don't know why. I was hoping no one saw them but you have the eye of an eagle. I will try to clone them out. Thanks for the suggestion.

Those yuckies were actually in the external external source and were exaggerated by the Nik Filter.

That was a problem area. I spent more time on that than anything else (well not quite but it felt that way). I tried so hard to find legs that would just cover up that seam. I had the edge a little harder, then softer, and kinda settled on medium. Tried using some of the paintbrush texture to make it blend. Tried some color, and other types of brushing. Perhaps you see some solution that I don't, to which I am all ears, but I kinda racked my brain on that stupid seam. I was hoping no one would notice but you and Z with your damned eagle eyes are seeing ALL of my faults!! haha.

I beat on it some more. This is a before and after https://image.ibb.co/h8cTYA/before-and-after.jpg

You made it less defined. I was thinking more defined like in this reference......

Thanks for the tip CM, I didn't know this technique but I found a good tutorial:

In this case it doesn't change a lot, but I've done it

I am not an expert in Displacement Maps but maybe there isn't enough contrast in the boys face. If you have the time you may want to try a copy of the boy's face with levels, curves, or contrast applied and try the Displacement Map on that copy. Or you could duplicate they boy once again and set the top layer on a Hard Light Layer, Multiply, (or otherwise) to bring out more contrast. Then flatten those two layers and try again. I don't know if any of this will work, but you may want to try.

Thank you. I find the contrast in the boy's face sufficient. It is a portrait. Too much contrast can ruin a portrait, it hardens the face. It can be interesting in some cases, but here I whish my boy to remain sweet as an angel

Thanks
