@NewZealand I do think it is a very interesting concept. I find it quite difficult to say what could be different because I think it is your very personal, artistic work. Maybe the "extreme" part here is that you have such a sweet portrait with such a 'sharp' plant. Maybe you could combine different facial expressions with different plants to match the mood more? :-)

Nicework for a 1st try.

Nicework for a 1st try.
Nice creativity - I don't have that software so I don't know what it's capable of, but ideally some form of depth map is needed here so that the overlay can wrap to contours of face, the flatness here looks very wrong around the nose in particular.

@NewZealand Yeah your right, much more Star Trek than vampires.

@barrington Thanks for that. so much to learn with all this digital stuff having a blast playing around with it. hmmmm vampire film did not think of that one. I was thinking somthing from avatar or star trek. have a great day.

@roderikk Thanks for the input this shot was just for fun to help me learn how to use photo shop. was not really taking it any where at this point. I did try to playing with the nose some but could not do much with it from the original. would like to know what you mean by its extreme may help me for future shot like this.

Very interesting and creative, looks like something from a vampire film. I recognise the plant you have used from another shot, and think uyou have employed it in a very effective way here.

Hi NewZealand. I think it is a very nice idea, however to me it seems a little bit too extreme.Just like Teuce said, the nose looks a bit strange, but maybe by a different placement of the triangles it could be solved. Also, I think the green colour is a bit off-putting...
Other than that I am very curious where you are going to take it.

Very dramatic. The nose seems a bit awkward though
