An interesting experiment Victor. How do the images look when you tone down the effect just a little?

Victor, I think these are some of your best portraits. Especially number 1.

Very nice!

My thoughts also, especially the second and third images. I really like the poses in these.

Hi guys,

Here they are before applying gimp fx.





Really appreciate your comments.

Thanks for viewing.

The texture of #2 makes it look like a canvas print, to me anyway. I really, really like it! It may not be for every single photo, but here, with your black and white conversion to compliment it, it looks fantastic. I stand firm that these are great shots.
