Turning a portrait into a bronze bust

[dinasset]

PS: evidently I didn't consider to remove the BG in the example, which certainly has to be performed to create a "bust", I was concerned on the "rendering" of the main subject as a 3d "bronze".
Garagecoder's filter is IMHO a very good tool for that purpose.
