Photo Art - 1st HM

I enjoy playing around with filters, in this case: Topaz Simplify: Oil Painting, to attempt to create artistic art forms from an original photograph.  Thanks for viewing.

Love this - the dreamy effect is excellent. Leaving the eye untouched (select the eye, then inverse to filter all BUT the eye) would improve this, i think. A clear eye usually anchors a otherwise-filtered image.

Floyd, I love this!  The composition is excellent, and the background color and shapes create a mysterious feeling.  I have to get Simplify.

Floyd, Fantastic result here. As a person who photographs abstracts, this is one of the scenes I would want to see. Very well conceived
