Well, ladies, the changes here are by and large pretty subtle. If you can't see them, I guess they are too subtle. Hairline at centre part: done. More cool in the dark part of the hair: done. Neck stripes: gone. Eye edges softened a little: done. Thanks you guys for taking the time to pick on the little things that make so much difference.

As for the colour of her eyes, they are quite startling in real life; depending on the light I have never been able to decide whether they look like glacial meltwater or tropical lagoons. Hopefully softening them up has made them jump out less. And the neck creases - I looked up Sargent on this and no, I don't imagine he ever allowed a crease to sully those languid, elegant subjects of his. Since you both mentioned it, is it because paying lady customers don't like to see them? Included are some of the prettiest neck creases I have ever seen, just to stir it up a little.
