Nice shot Mr. T Big Grin. I find it a bit too dark and blurry for my liking though would love to have made out more detail.

If you brighten some highlights and add a touch of sharpness to a detail it would be like a Vermeer.

The darkness and soft focus is quite deliberate - that's how I feel the shot.

Beautiful picture, Toad. It really makes you think what she is thinking..

This really conveys melancholy, Toad. Very nice shot!

Don, what have you done to the poor girl? Girls don't like their noses shiny, that's why they go to the bathroom every so often to powder them! Big Grin

It looks familiar probably because I published it before at ADI.

It doesn't really matter much who it was anymore...

I like it except for the white smudge over her right shoulder... my eye keeps trying to figure out what it is...

This is one of those Mona Lisa things -- keeps you wondering what she was thinking of at the time... Big Grin

i like this toad. it's a highly interpretive piece.... so there will always be people spruiking or detracting from it. I think for that, it's a great piece of artwork.

Thanks people - I have shown this one a couple of times before - the treatment has always been quite contraversial.
