Oh yes, that's the one - couldn't figure out how to direct link. Although all of those photos are in the style I'd like to emulate - sort of a 3D painterly, not quite real effect. Thanks Christina!

Hi Damien and team! I'm trying to replicate a whimsical fantasy style I've seen. I composited several pieces together to make this image of my boys: First, I'd be grateful for your critique and anywhere I can improve the basic image. It is underexposed because I've been trying to get a certain effect and don't know where else to take it. Here's a website full of the look I'd like to replicate: http://www.adriansommeling.com/portfolio_page/portfolio/ I can't link to a particular file, but the one of the boys on the airplane wing (second to last row on the left) seems close in light and colours to my snowman photo. I've tried more and less saturation, contrast, levels, fading highlights, fading shadows, adding textures, even the oil paint filter in CS6, but I can't seem to get it right. Any thoughts? The feeling I want is storytelling, whimsical, playful. Thanks!
