Great use of the Steve Brush. Good title to get people to hang out and look. Bumping up.

Nicely done. Good cloud detail and you put the picture in a great spot. Nice detail and superb sharpess.
When lost I did see clouds at times, many very similar to these. The main difference, though, was that all I ever saw in them were voluptuous female forms. ;) - Steve

Ha! Took me awhile but I finally see him! Definitely got me invested in the image, though only long enough to find the face. The cloud formations are nice which adds interest. I like the richness of the blue and there is some nice form deliniation in the cloud shapes. I like the idea behind the addition of steve's face, but I do wish that the cloud shape was retained.. as in the bumps and crevices were still evident so it looked as if the face was form-fitting rather than blotting out. I gave a 5

I remember looking at clouds when I was a girl...that enjoyment has never left me. The face is well edited...good work.
