So, lol, this went into validation, came back as a Yes it cleared, a month later it was DQ'd. Just a slip up. SO the majority rules that you can use the liquidizer tool, BUT not too much, for me the downfall was the cape, I bulged it out too much.
SO less is more!!
Going to add the story now. LIlly died at 24 weeks. I went out to shoot a shot just for her. This was it. I loved how it captured the light at the end of the tunnel, the man with wide open arms, almost angelic. My own personal best shot ever. A mixture of almost hand drawn and photography together. Very very proud of this piece.
I showed it to my parents before showing it to my brother and sister in law (their baby) and they both recoiled in horror and said I was amazingly stupid for wanting to give them a picture of a naked man.
So they never saw it.
But to me, it is still a Master piece. Truly my best work
