Patricia,

Thank you for the input, it is a very personal pose and i wasn't sure how it would translate, but I like it and so do the family so I suppose thats what counts.

I see what you mean about the crop but the eventual aim is to do one of my mum in a similar pose and hang them together (bookends so to speak )

Allan,

Again thank you for the comments, I can see what you mean about making the light source more apparent and will have a go at lightening the paper and darkening the shadows in the jersey. one thing though ( as I am still quite vague about artistic trems ) what exactly does to 'desaturate' mean.

You are right about the shadow as well, I went back and had a close look at the photo and there is a thin shadow under the (his ) left hand jawline. I think I decided to ignore it as I wasn't sure if it was from a flash

Thankyou again,

Carolyn.
