I’m trying something new here and would really like your honest opinion because I want it to be as good as I can make this technique!

It is an interesting method of post processing, but, at first glance, they appear to have a lot of noise, and they seem to be out of focus. Upon a deeper look, I see that it is not noise, and the photo will never be sharp, as that seems to be part of the effect. I have seen others that were much sharper. I would say it is a good start, but needs some work to be effective.

Is that a preset effect?

Thanks for the helpful critique orrie smith! I know it needs help but I'm at a loss as to what it needs!It's always nice to see a new visitor!

No Jerry, it's about 5 different effects to this point! Any suggestions?

Exactly what are you really hoping to accomplish with this PP work? Not sure that any suggestions from me or the rest of the group would be that helpful since we do not know your vision for the final outcome. We can all offer our opinions about what you have created, but not sure how useful that would be.

Dave, Bob summed it up! I'm hoping to get something close to Rockwell but have a long way to go!

Not really any suggestions..as you know, at this point it's a matter of tweaking until you get that unique look!! Sometimes we stumble upon it!

Not such a long way to go. Your pictured have captured every day occurrences in people's lives and made them interesting, as Rockwell did. They tell a story for the viewer.

I like and use a similar effect. If you apply the effect to a layer (copied) you can dial down the opacity or try other blending modes. With practice and experimentation I'm sure you will get to the same level as your flower images demonstrate!
