So i have been having some fun with the smudge tool lately,
to create a more painterly look for a portrait of my dog
Its a fairly easy technique it just takes a very long time.
This is not really nature photography per se, but the reason i'm posting this is that i think this would look quite nice on other subjects as well (flowers etc)
Anyway the attached image is what i came up with, hope you enjoy and thanks for looking
I like what you've done very much. I've never used the smudge tool, and Wim, I think it would be very helpful if you could provide use with a couple of screen grabs to show us the layers you used and explain the technique a bit more. I think it could be a great technique to use with floral images.

I like the effect you have achieved in this photo. It is difficult to tell without seeing the original photo but I would like to see a bit more of the lower jaw shown before the smudge effect starts.
