Sophie, you have really captured the nostalgia of the photograph.

I would like to see you keep these muted colors but give her a tad more dimension. In the photo she has such a lovely roundness to her jaw and neck on our left. I think you have made her features stronger and given the neck too much definition. Maybe you could soften the really dark shadow with more of a temperature change.

I thing you should do a little more detail on her top, too. Right now it looks like a v-neck sweater vs. the collar dress with string ties.

Give it a good squint of the eyes!

Is she still living? She would love it!

(I have stayed in Nuttsford and Alderly Edge (sp?) by the way, I love that part of England!)
