Hi Chuck,

So many good responses! Allan has a good suggestion about color. I hope to not come across as too heavy handed, but I think a few tweaks can help this a lot.

The color relationships suggest her skin color is rather too cool, compared to her lips and her hair. Photographs can throw these cues off at times, and one has to look at an example of a life model to make sense of photographic colors.

I would also recheck the shapes in her face: mainly the jaw line and the angle of her nose structure.

I hope this helps and good luck with this commission!

Garth
