    Looks great, Danny! I'm sure he'll be blown away.

    One small thing, for when you're printing, I would keep a margin with nothing of note in it. Some printers are not entirely precise with their reproduction. It's usually minor, but in this case it may put your signature very close to the edge and at risk. The other thing is that when it's framed it covers the edge a little. So that's just some considerations when you're filling a page.

    It may not be a problem though. And certainly his picture and the motorcycle are well inside.

    Really nice. I also have used photo elements in paintings to good effect. Yours looks perfect. But the best part of it is his head. It's excellent. I'm sure he will we well pleased as will your friend who's grandfather this is.

    Fine work!

    This is the Instagram J-pec version.. I can't share a PNG file on this site with my mobile.. Maybe with a computer. Haven't tried that yet. Thank you for the nice words .I don't know what you mean by Photo elements.. it's not a photo. Everything you see is a drawing .

    Wow. Very accurate and photographic. Great eye and a whole lot of patience. You certainly have shiny materials of different kinds working extremely well, particularly the chrome and headlight. Glad you clarified that for me. I honestly thought parts looked like parts of photos.

    This one I work on every evening and around 20 hours in the weekend. I think 50 hours together. . A professional company will make the poster.. . It's this man's 60th birthday. A present gives by his children. I wanted to make it as good as I could. Not my meaning to make it as a photo.. ..
