Who knew being 25 would qualify you to be an 'old person'?!

Her face is very convincingly childlike as is her near hand. Her far hand and (especially) her shoulder seem too imposing, however.

I do think her hair is too mature.

nice job and the far hand and shoulder...nice hair too

Lovely work, but not sure it really follows the theme.

Thanks friiskiwi, here is my take on this, age is relative, and 25 can be "old" to a 5, 10, or 15 yeard old. I tried to think outside the box by doing something different, perhaps the theme should have been more specific such as saying take someone 60 or older and making him/her younger. Right now I'm just making a plea to prevent my entry from being removed.

in my opinion is on theme. and I think you did a great job good luck.

Good work friend! i like this pic and i like her small cake too.Thank you for sharing.

Totally on theme according to the contest guideline.

Congrats TorDoni , you turned her into a real cutie.

Thank you madamemonty, she reminded me of my granddaughter, especially the band aids.

Very nice, but you can still see where you had manipulated his ear, also try to remove facial creases and neck lines using patch and stamp tools. Good Luck!

Thank you for your advice

He clearly looks younger, but does that satisfy the contest requirement of 'young'? The white hairs say 'old' to me.

Might have been better to remove the orange cast from the source pic & start from there.

Not bad, neat little lip dimple/crease as well good luck author

Younger, yes, but I don't see 20 years. I think at least 50% of the impact is merely due to the green contacts and the bold lipstick. New hair-do and clothes would contribute to a more-youthful look. (A more-oval face might be good, too.)
