Photoshop randomness

[KickFoot]

Well, I tried editing an image of one of my favorite actresses and this is how it turned out! Some of you might not like it, it's more "my own style".

Alex, are U a man or are U a woman? I don't mean to be rude or anything, just asking.

I'm a duuuuude. Yes, a man.

I know in some places Alex is considered a girls name also and all of Ur pics are of a woman. Thought it was your gf or it was U or U are a lesbian (which would be awesome.)
Nice editing though, keep up the good work !

Bokeh-related effects are a good addition to almost any photograph or design, and you surely haven't missed out on that! Nice work, could perhaps have given her eyes a bit stronger saturation but on the whole it's a nice transformation! I like how the blue mixes with the red, it creates a vivid contrast between the actress and the background. The text has a sort of "professional" touch to it which fits incredibly well into the overall impression.

What happened with the blurry hair, though? Perhaps a little too much bokeh there? Ah well, it's actually not very noticeable but is still something you perhaps might want to check for next time!

Have you done any more of these.. artistic impressions? I like the idea!
