Hi,
Rechecked the ref and the nose is pretty accurate, may be the contrast while adjusting it on Photoshop that caused the strong highlight.
Michele, thank you, the eye thing is weird but it began bothering me just how "formal" this piece was coming along compared to the portraits I usually do. It's too formal to include with my portfolio, so I may end up 'fixing' the eye, take a pic for the portrait area of my website, then erase it again to make myself feel better.
Thanks again.
