This is a tight crop of an image taken while on a photo caravan at the San Diego animal park last December. Used Pixel Bender filter.

Brendan, This is terrific! The PB filter is great. It reminds me of a tedious liquify treatment. Well done matching the image and the filter.:S3:

Super job Brendan! Really great processing and perfect for this image. Love that gaze...

Hey Brendan, this looks awesome! As Denise said, this is a perfect match of photo and filter. There's one minor thing that is bothering me, probably more than it should and that's the wisp of white that is pushing down into the dark area on the left side of the nose. Overall this is extremely well done! :5

Brendan,

Beautiful effect used on a beautiful portrait. Well done.

Sweet painting Brendan! Great job!

Thanks for the feedback you guys, I really appreciate it. Ken, I see what you mean, I will try tweaking with it.

Denise, I have been really inspired by your Guide to Filters & Effects. I like how it gets right down to business, giving tons of great examples of what different filters can do and the different ways to use them. Very well done! I also have the same habit of flattening my work as I go, because I like having access to the whole work at all times, and having it divided up into stacks of layers, just slows me down.

Wonderful match to PB-oil. Love the effect, Brendan!

I can't say much that hasn't already been said..nice work..

Brendan. WOW! this is awesome, fabulous work!:5

Wonderful image, Brendan! Its a beautiful portrait and with the PB effect it's just fabulous! :S3:

Brendan, I LOVE it!!! It really is perfect:S3:

Thanks Steve, Paul, Andrew, Christopher & Cheryl, appreciate the feedback! (computer was down for a bit, so sorry about not replying soon) I still plan to work on nose, just haven't had time yet.
