@stwert.
Thanks stwert. Checked your painting. Its beautiful.
Thanks for the info there. Got to saw another masterpiece of this photographer

@Nilla,
Thanks for appreciating.
Started working on this picture during my photoshop classes. I had always liked this picture by Steve McCurry.

I made every face part in layers like nose brows, lips etc. I spent 2 days time just for the eyes as they are the main attraction of this pic. (If you want i can post the collage of the layers)

This painting also got selected for a digi portrait exhibition here in Bombay. Though i did not win any prize for it but it definitely helped boost my confidence.

I am attaching a pic from that exhibition

Regards,
Mahesh
