NSFW - Nude with Fractalius filter

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied.

Sorry mate, the filter makes it look like she's covered in course brown hair. I think I would much rather see the original :)

I think the strength of the filter adds an unflattering ugliness.

can you tone down the filter layer some? to my eyes, its too harsh, or sharp, and the mind cant blend soft curves and contrasting cracks...

The wolfwoman cometh!

I'm not exactly sure what the filter is supposed to do, but cleaning my monitor didn't help either.

Let's maybe go back to the original and .... just leave it alone?

I don't think its fair to comment on a filter in PS If I can't see the original that it came from :lol: :lol:

Ok, obvoiusly not to anyones liking. I was just 'experimenting'. Due to popular request here is the original taken on a Sony DSC F717 :oops: (Actually it was not a bad camera).

A beautiful image without the filter. I suspect you could post process the image a little further....try and make the skin glow a little more, otherwise...perfect.

I really like the filtered image. It reminds me of those Japanese cartoons etc.

I'm off to find it and give it a little try.

Cheers
