this is nice... a little goes a long way.

Lovely idea, but i think the paint filter creates too many hard edges and a lot of detail is lost, maybe it's just me (i'm not a great fan of filters) However great job.. it lookes very nice.

It's your image, and i will not question any artistic choices it's a great image.. good luck!

look forward to the SBS... I love toys for PS. -plugins..( dont have any at the moment)Although it has created some edges... I think you reached your goal of the OLD WORLD look... love it

Very nice work...ice queen is very very good and the bear perfectly fits in whole image...but i agree with ponti,photo filter create to many hard edges....Beside that this entry is one of the best,so high marks from me.

Looks like oil painting. Great image

It does look a lot like an oil painting.

interesting image author. next time you may like to explore shadows. GL

I really like your idea and the work you've put into it. Very good SBS by the way The problem is, that you squished the face. In step 1 and 2 of your SBS it is normal, but something happened between step 2 and 3. Would be great, if you could fix that Good luck!

its hard to seperate each item in the image. The person looks really distorted, the background isn't straight but that may have been intentional.

Nice overall image, but i think the blending on the ston head should be abit smoother, try not to remove as much of it when masking. Good luck!

I really like the feel of this one.

Nice work

This would be much better without the gold frame...imo.
