Marvin,

Thanks again for the response.

I think the shadows on this photo may be a little closer to the first Raeburn painting you posted. I think I can darken the shadows a bit once I get into the painting. I think I should be able to shorten the cast shadow off the nose also. I really am going for that soft edge, glowing effect of Raeburn's. I am going back to the museum in a few hours to study and take a few photo's of the Raeburn painting here in Birmingham.

As far as the two photo's, I must now decide which one to use. I'm leaning toward #1 due to the face being brighter on the lighted side. I let to get some input as to preference.
