Thank you guys!
Chris opened my eyes, and Tom helped me to understand
Yeah, I knew something was wrong, eventually
what was wrong, but I could not define exactly where to apply the changes. I would want to blame on the reference photos. They were taken using flash. Light bouncing from everywhere, very confusing. Anyway, a lot yet to be done, all in a hurry, omg.
Now there's another point, which I would like to hear your professional opinion about it: since this is a long distance commission, I did show my client some images of the painting in progress via email, during the process. The problem (if we can call that a problem) is that he thinks it is good as it is. In fact he is very impressed. He clearly has a preference for vivid colors, as he hinted once or twice. Maybe that too has influenced me on the saturation side.
So the great dilemma is -
he is satisfied, but I am not! That's why I posted this thread. I loved what Chris suggested and I think I should apply those changes right away. But how far can I go? Will he agree on the changing or will it be risky at this point? I don't want to discuss these technical issues with him. I must take a decision. The deadline is too close. Do you think it is a good idea if I apply only slight changes, in order to satisfy myself and make this piece a little better, without making it too noticeable?
What would you do?
Thank you again,
