Great portrait Phil, I'm confused as to exactly when my mother in law sat for this one though!

Excellent crisp detail and spot on the theme again.

Well done and best of luck.

Big feller Smile I blur out the background and bring those eyes out more, might have even made a cut to letter box and really concentrated on the eyes, removing the background altogether.

Good point Rob..........the background is a little too sharp a slight blurring would have improved it. Thanks
