PLEASE FORGIVE ME JACKIE! Your previous image inspired me to tinker. I just reread your post today and saw you used Lucis, which I have and never knew what to do with it until I remembered the grandma of the bride whose wedding i photographed last November. For the record. No prize for seconds! That's sweet with me. :)

Flipped granny, applied a Lucis Art filter, saturated lips and eyes (eyes max sat) and erased original eyes from below layer. They kind a look evil to me this way. :D I burnt some of the edges after the Lucis transform. I was adding another eye, like a cyclops - but with three eyes - triclops? But decided against it, looked silly.

So hope this is somewhat better than some of my more recent efforts. Even though I cannot think of an original idea. :o

Here is the original portrait. She is a lovely looking older lady. Very photogenic face and pose. I think anyway, not that I would consider myself a "people" photographer guy.

I also just did the cyclops version. She'd kill me for sure. :D

Yes I think she would kill you Akos. Love the look of the skin. Well done. She almost looks like she has stitches :eek:

Great job, Akos! I love the skin texture and overall effect. I don't think it will make it into the bride's wedding album, though.
