actually used the buzzsim for this one in topaz simplify2. seemed to do a better job than oil or watercolor.
i posted the camera version in the ETL forum a couple of days ago and someone suggested i do this. so here is my take on it. please feel free to tell me if you like it or not.
Hey Harold,
This turned out very nice! I would patch in the whiish areas at the LRC....just because they draw the eye......just patch in some of the beautiful golden tones! Nicely done!
This is very nice Harold and I remember when you first posted with the palette knife. I think this is the perfect treatment here. I like how one corner goes from dark ULC to light LRC. Gives it a nice tension and I find my eye goes around the frame very nicely.
