What a gorgeous portrait!
I love how you combined outdoor light with natural looking color and light on the figure -- very hard to do. I see what you mean about how you had to position him facing the Mall to get the light the way you wanted on his figure, then put him in a place where the light was really only coming from behind. I never would have noticed it if you hadn't pointed it out.
I also like how you lined up the pattern of the railing with the center line of the Mall. Beautifully designed.
Too bad they wouldn't reposition the Washington Monument for you, or put a smaller one in its place for a day or so....!
By the way, are you always able to do at least one color study from life with the model?
