Way to tough this one out! Have a beer, my friend.

It looks wonderful. Put it in the book.
You shouldn't just be commended for the great job, but also for your willingness to hear out others' critiques. Your openness helped complete this work of art. All you needed was a fresh pair of eyes. At some time or another, we all need that. And that is, of course, what this forum is for.
I'm kind of curious as to why the closeup posted more contrasty and cooler than the pic of the whole piece. Which is most like the original? If I knew what "Fawn" looked like, I guess I'd know, but I don't.
Your daughter did a great job on the beauty marks, by the way!
