Holly, I was very impressed with this portrait. The skin tones and planes of the face are tremendous. I've done some digital alterations to the background which will seem drastic at first but i'm only attempting to correct a lighting situation. The light appears to be the strongest on the furthest eye, so the light has to end behind the subjects left shoulder, therefore the background behind the right shoulder should be darker. I eydropped some of the dark tones from the subjects hair and airbrushed them in for this effect, though crude, the alteration helps me make my point. The problem with the right arm may be corrected with sharpening the left shoulder and making the right recede, the right arm is a tone brighter than the left even though the left is closer to the viewer. These alterations are only one artists observations and are not etched in stone. Keep up the great art!
