I have run out of my own photos to smudge, so got this one from Stock Exchange. Please let me know how I may improve. Thanks, Jo

Jo, i really can see how you can improve on it!! it looks great.
Every bit of it. I even think the background helps to throw the lion out at you..

I have to agree with everyone else, just purrfect :wink: . Did you add the whiskers from scratch, or work with what was there.. either way it's a fantastic result!

Angela, I tried something different on this one. I masked out the whiskers, very time consuming, did my smudge and then using the history brush put them back in, enhanced them a bit, and then smudged. I maybe should have asked for help....after I masked them I wanted to lift them to their own layer to smudge them but couldn't figure it out.
