My attempt at the mixer brush tutorial

Original Image

Final Image

I found this tutorial difficult to follow, I think that the tutorial was set out so I could understand the different stages but I couldnt follow it I found it quite difficult to do. So I think my image doesnt look as good as I wanted to look like, if I had the chance to redo this tutorial I would take my time and chose a different image to work on because it has got the website on the bottom or it and it ruins the image. I used the mixer brush to do this tutorial.
