Navajo portrait

[Transmit]

Here's a shot I took of a Navajo woman in traditional dress during a ceremony in Mt. Taylor, New Mexico. I ran a Photoshop brush stroke filter on it to give it a bit of an "effect", does it work?

Here's with filter:

Hi!

I definitely prefer without filter. The filter gives the image that old look. Looks almost scanned...

Anyways, it's only my opinion

Hi Transmit,

My vote is without filter too. The filter makes the image (esp. her face) a little too raw (Pun not intended)

Yeah, me too...w/o the filter....Great shot though...Could be an advert for visiting New Mexico!

The filter doesn't work for me, picture is great.

Thanks for all the comments, sounds like I oughtta forget about the filtered version.
