I'm sorry but this is another Filter's tutorial and I'm sick of them.....Ok so when I started I used filters....a lot and then people thought I rocked but come on it's random! Argh....okay now after my own little rant here's comments on your tut!

I believe the 2nd to last pic looked better than the last so I would've stopped there...also try adding a bit more than filtering - i know you used the smudge tool but it's still not that great - How about instead of generating thast with filter you do it by hand! And then teach us....I belive tutorials are by teaching others what you have and wanted to learn. Not something you elarnt from another tutorial such as filtering because there's no point- your wasting your time as someone else has already written that tutorial!

My 2 cents...
