This is my first experiment with displacement maps, I don't know if this was the best image to try the technique with but I did.
I would be really grateful for comments help and advice on this as its something that i would like to try and master.
please feel free to use the mods to show examples.
thanks

Hi Mo, dispacement maps can be great fun but you really have to decide if the end result will look the better for it or not. On this occassion I feel the boys photo is fine without it. I try to keep the use of them to a very graphic image usually grungy as this works best. Nude studies also work well Mo and perhaps would have been a better choise for the wood pattern, can see it working over all the female contours, in fact would also work well on a male torso, perhaps a well build bodybuilder type. All that said my hat goes of to your efforts in what can be a difficult area of manipulation.
Take care victor
Hi Mo,Your son looks excellent as always,your own little pinnochio the wooden boy in reverse,brilliant grain,detail,eye contact,colour/tone,lighting and exposure.I know nothing about this Mo,so sorry i can't help.Take care.Ann
thankyou for your kind comments,much appreciated.
It is a great shot Mo, but with a subject as handsome as this I would have posted it without the wooden effect. Still looks good and you really did catch his eyes. Well done....

It's an interesting effect. At first I also thought it was blinds, but then noticed the wood effect. I agree it's not the best subject for this effect, but would love to see more! Nice work even though it wasn't the right subject!
lol
youve been attacking photoshop i see
well done love the effect
Nice experiment Mo but I too feel it was posssibly the wrong subject,clever manipulation & I think Victor has a good idea with the use of a nude,particularly a male as the effects give a harder look,possibly too harsh for a female torso.
Nice control on the layers thing though.

Hello Mo, this is excellent, at first I thought should the eyelashes be removed and the teeth tones to make it look more like the real thing then I thought no it would spoil the portrait. Very impressive.

Very interesting and different, never seen it done before. Great stuff Mo.
