I used the luminosity masks plug-in that was posed here on your abstract portrait OMG. I hope you like it

The last one (#564) is very well done IMHO. I was thinking front facing portraits must be easier to make because of symmetry. I looked back a page and see you also do non-front facing portraits like #559.

I have a theory: In computer-made art, quantity is better than quality because eventually the artist gets so good they are producing interesting material most of the time
