I blew the photo up to a 7.5 inch head size, stood across the room and looked at it. I don't have to squint, just take my glasses off (instant blur) and I could easily make it out. I'm glad you took the time to check it out again, thank you!

Everyone loved this shot as soon as it came up, she looks so classic. I really want to try it, so I may give it a shot. If it doesn't work I should know quite early on, and will simply go with our second choice and start over.

At least you've helped me be more aware of the problems I'm facing with this and I appreciate your honesty. The background is blown-out in this shot, but I have others that aren't. When I was actually photographing it certainly was not this light. It also was photographed on my front porch, so all I really have to do is go outside to see the accurate colors.

My landscapes have mainly been of the view in my own yard. It was time to paint what I see everyday. Not as easy as it looks.
