LOL! Tyson returns Holyfield's ear! LOL!! Great job!

very very nice work author...gl

SUPER DUPER CUTE.. great job

Boy, that's an old song!!! Nice rendering, but the large hands are too blue in tone, and the dancer's legs and feet look very odd. she looks like she is wearing blue/purple tights (the same color as the blue hands), and her visible foot is squished up, making her leg look really fat.

Looks do profound..hehe. still adorable

Looks pretty fearsome!

Sweet..

Must be some strong coffee.. espresso LOLOLOL

Excellent capture! How long did you have to sit and wait for that shot LOL?

Love it!! The shadow makes it quite dramatic.

Very cute! I would consider cropping out the pink on the right, IMO.

so so image

good effect

I liked the use of light, the color used and experiment result. Nice work. GL

nice thinking and great title...best of luck author

People here are eager to help once they get what the author intended to do - that's why you can use the description . For ex. I see you have an overall pattern but is hard to understand how did you achieve it. Instead you can make it out of coins. You can experiment with masking the negative so that it looks like your image is made of different coins, stuff like that.

We usually provide a SBS so that people like me won't have to ask: What happened to the source?
Is it only the coat of arms on his shoulder ?

I like the treatment here, it really looks like one pic.

nice

Arca gives a nice tip, you can try it. Beautiful image, though.

Great concept. I do agree with Lolu though ...You can add very nice and easily editable textures by:

Add a 50 percent gray layer with the blend mode set on Soft Light (Overlay and Hard light work too ... just stronger); apply filters (you can combine them until you get a look that you like - e.g. stain glass, monochromatic noise ...you can do this in more than 1 layer). You can warp them or transform them; you can paint some out or back in (using gray); you can blur or sharpen.

Once you think you like what you have created. Voila! You now have a texture that you can work on, change opacity, lighten (use lighter grays to white), darken (use darker grays to black) and all without harming the main image.

Trick: the neutral gray layer is also a great way to play with the lighting almost like dodge and burn but non-destructive ... use white for highlights, black to darken and/or intensify and 50 percent gray to bring back to neutral (no change).

I think it can be better without the texture effect, and with playing with light. Good luck author !
