I think I'm finished with this one. I struggled with the lip line, which I usually enjoy doing. I think it was because I know so much of my son's likeness, distinctiveness is in his mouth and I really wanted to capture that. I also think the contrast on the shadow of the chin is too strong.
I tried to push values but since the darkets plane is (our) right side of the front of the face I did not want it to look too square. I was trying to work around the flaws of photography. I would appreciate any input. I am happy with this likeness but there's no punch.
Thanks
