    Default Theme: Blur, Little Thinker

    One of my favorites this series, I was so inspired working
    that I wasn't ready to go to bed last night, and it was past that time!!
    Hope you all like it.....needs a good title

    Motion blur, 2x pinch, Black canvas, Topaz Adjust(cartoon with small edges)
    zoom blur, box blur and a bunch more in between!!

    Thank you for looking in and c/c

    Dave, this is extraordinary! He kind of has a Peter Pan look to him:)

    Dave, This is fantastic! The title fits perfectly IMO. I really like the use of multiple blurs-it adds dimension!! Really top notch!! The use of the cartoon w/ small edges is the masters touch!!

    Very interesting Dave, and I like your treatment here. I might back down on some of the outlines a bit (hands maybe). I like how your blur extends over the edge of the frame too. Really looks like he is pondering something and I think your treatment brings it out well. Was this a random shot, or someone you know?? Just curious:)

    Dave, I think he reminds me of The Little Prince - one of my favorite books! This image keeps calling me back and I finally decided he reminded me of the little prince not peter pan.:) Anyway, superbly done.

    thank you for all comments friends.....Cheryl, I had a first version where I used
    the liquify tool and made a Pinochio nose!! Little Prince is good!

    Jackie, I will give the outlines more evaluation, thank much for honest critique.
    This was a little boy sitting on bleachers at a festival....a grab shot


    this is the look before last blur. You can see how the double pinch filter really poofed up his hair

    Dave, The more I look at this the more I think it needs to be seen. This should be hanging in a gallery!! I'm not kidding-really.
