I had already posted my finished edit of this in the Gallery, but really love when folks in this section post photos for others to edit and experiment with.. I wanted to let others have a go at one of my images to see what artistic beauty they could bring to it if they wished to do so... Thanks in advance.. I look forward to seeing others visions of this....

Nothing to add. The dog has a great expression.

I don't consider this any where near your editing talent but if we don't try we can't learn. My try at it. Thanks for posting Randy

Thanks, Randy !!! I like doing this sort of thing from time to time. I have two versions. One using Topaz adjust and the other without. Dave

Johnny, Thanks... :) If you are trying to butter me up to borrow money it won't work, I don't have any... :)
Thanks much..
You are right. Only a fool stops trying to learn even after they think they have it figured out.. There are many people here that make me look like a Novice.. Really appreciate you posting your edit! Thanks :)

I love these PP projects. They provide a great level of challenge and an opportunity for all of us to practice this very important skill. Of course it helps having a great photo to begin with, as in this case.
I am providing four different versions. A pastel version; a high contrast b&w graphic version; a sepia version; and, a fine art pencil and wet charcoal version.

Thanks Ken!... While I like them all for different reasons #2 and #4 really catch my attention... If I had to choose one to hang on my wall I would lean toward #4 because of the eyes and the fact that it highlights the important parts of the image.... Appreciate your time and glad I could give you some play time.... :) I also wanted to ask the translation of your Signature Stamp......

Just a straight edit. A handsome chap like that doesn't need artistic enhancement.

I am glad that you liked my efforts. Let me note that the first thing that I did with your image was to clean it up a bit by reducing noise and increasing detail, both done by use of two different Topaz modules. In my opinion very necessary to proper PP work.
As for my "signature stamp", it is actually called a "chop stamp", and is hand carved in stone. Traditionally, the color of ink used is red. I found an older Chinese gentleman in a small shop in Portland, Oregon's Chinatown many years ago. He made (carved) traditional and also some very fancy chop stamps. I had him carve my chop stamp showing my name in Chinese characters. I used this chop stamp to sign a number of my art pieces for some years; however, with the advent of the digital age I digitized my chop in various sizes, and I can easily change the color should I wish. No longer worrying about ink smear and using different ink pads.
A more artistic and less obtrusive manner to leave my mark, in my humble opinion.
