hi kim, and thanks for the nice comments, your right about the bluish showing up in one eye, its reflection of whats on the table, to be hones, it bugged me, so i took it out of the prints that they ordered from. made them nice and brown as they should be :)
I bet this one looks amazing blown up... the eyes have so much expression and soul to them. Love the catchlights, as I think that is the main reason that the eyes stand out so well. I notice the blur a bit more on this one, more on the top left side of the head (frame left) but it seems a natural progression into the background. Gorgeous light, detail where it needs to be, and framing.
Beautiful my dear friend... Excellent composition... Love the lighting and the soft focus creates a mysterious atmophere around the character... Love it!!!
Cheers,
MaLuisa
