Hi, Leslie.

I think the major challenge you have is to avoid having this become a painting of a large, really red shirt. Whether it's blowing in the breeze, I can't tell, but it certainly calls attention to her girth, leaving little opportuntity for the face to be the focal point. Do you have an opportunity to take addiitonal photos with different clothing?

If you can't take more photos, you might think of just a head and shoulders format.
