I'd have to agree with Patrick, the last one is my favourite treatment for such a well-loved Santa. My mother has one very similar, I must remember to grab a shot when I'm there for Christmas. TFS.

I'm not sure. I asked my wife and she wasn't sure either. Sorry.

You're having fun, aren't you? You must be practicing I like all your experiments primarily because you started with such a nicely lit photo with plenty of cool textures.
