I agree with ScottishRose: the skin tones are lost in this. Also, if you were going for a true-to-life look for the sketch, I would have added a few other layers, with different lengths and directions of the blur and semi-transparent. Then, maybe spherize a few to give it a loose sketch feel.

Honestly I prefer the Black and White photo of this. This is a very unique manip, however I find that some of the emotion is lost. You lose the depth and intensity of the eyes and the whole picture just seems muted.

Thanks for your helpful criticism on Mountain Biker. I too liked the B&W photo better than the manipulated image, but I wasn't sure why. You helped me to understand what was lacking. Very perceptive. Thanks!
