Yoga distant cousin of Yoda

[Jackie Schuknecht]

Yoga has morphed through generations and is a distant cousin of Yoda of Star Wars fame. He almost made it in to the movie but never got a call back. He appears wistful in his astral nest, and is still envious that Yoda and some of his other friends got in.:D Frac/,and added the nose,liquify, masked the eyes back in.
Also found a neat way to tone down the highlights in CS5, use the select (colour range) tool for sampled colours (the brights), dup on a separate layer, then change the blending mode to subtract. Adjust to taste, think I went to about 4 percent. Worked for me on the brightest parts of the image.

Jackie, I love the frac. work. The nose and eyes are terrific. I like the way it looks like a beard. Very creative flip!!:)

Jackie, Awwwe. I can't believe Yoga, with those adorable eyes, didn't get a callback. Cute flip and great nest.

Thanks for the tip for toning down highlights. I need to try it on my goat.

Jackie, awesome filter work and flip! I love the little guy. I hope you saved those frac settings as a preset!
