Do they?

[dinasset]

Many thanks, Mahvin.
Now I have my "best sets" defined! 12 is not at all a small number of choices.
These shown here were all "created" as "stroke" type.

I don't know whether you had the chance to see also my previous ones of type "spot".
(the definitons are just mine, to distinguish among them).
If I show later on also those in this thread, would you be so kind to evaluate also them?

[mahvin]

Most certainly.

[dinasset]

Wow, I'll post them. IIRC are more or less the same number: 30.

[dinasset]

My first group of "spot" type.
Source images are still from Deviant Art.

1, 2, 3, 4

7, 8 (7 impressed me, it was much softer)

9 (blurring disqualified it)

The tree photos, the lighting held them back a bit

[dinasset]

Thanks a heap, Mahvin.

end of my "spot" examples.

[mahvin]

Wow, the spot examples are an improvement for many animals and people portraits.

10, 11, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19
20, 21, 22, 24, 25, 26, 28, 29, 30

23 and 27, the foreground grass is disqualifying

[dinasset]

...and I'm saying wow for your evaluations !
Many many thanks.

23 out of 30 is a super and unexpected result for me.

I now procede adding in the process the optional possibility to see traces of the canvas.
