Used the last 3 source images.

I had fun modifying the one I prefer with GMiC / multi scalesmoothing :

Ciao Ella,

provando e riprovando I got tonight these outcomes, using the same sources as my last posts.
Maybe (just maybe) I can deserve a vote of 6-- (out of 10) by you.
Who knows...
Spes ultima dea...

Diego, my favorite is the third outcome from posting #41 and I give you a 7 (out of 10) for it
But I'm still not a fan of this portrait manipulation, sorry.

[dinasset]

Thanks for the feedback.
I tought you had chosen #1 of post #43.

Beautiful images from you all. Some of them are awesome!

Stop (at leasy for a while) experimenting with (almost) unsuccessful smoothed outcomes for people.
Back to my original set-up (as I see aquarelle paintings):

Beautiful realistic aquarelle results, Dinasset. I understand the aquarelle effect like that.

Stop (at leasy for a while) (I think you can't stay long without revamping the plugin .... )experimenting with (almost) unsuccessful smoothed outcomes for people.
Back to my original set-up (as I see aquarelle paintings):

Me too I prefer your last results

[Ella]

Diego, you have to make what you like yourself.
It was only because you commented on my portrait outcome I gave you my explanation.
You shouldn't try to adapt your work to my taste.
It's your art, that's why you should continue as you were and ... have fun

[dinasset]

Ella, I did not try to adapt my work to your taste, I wanted to add the possibility of getting also outcomes loved by you; they were all additional options (variants) in my filter (the original options have been always maintained, so that the user could choose among the options).
I have a high regard of your artistic opinion.
Unfortunately, my efforts have been unsuccessful, and I'm very sorry.
It isn't a matter of taste, but of "artistic" (as far as a Gimp manipulation can be considered "art") evaluation.

Maybe, in a future I will have another possibility, who knows.

Tomorrow's another day..
