Fine tuning




I always find that the fine tuning is the hardest, but worthwhile. When one has put so much effort into an already successful result, as you have, why not push it to another level if one can?

These are my thoughts. You have made the hair to the left and right of the chin quite dark as is in the photo. It doesn't seem that you have matched other areas tonally in the same way.

For example, underneath the dog and the girl and also inside the dogs rear leg are equally as dark tonally in the photograph as the darkest parts of the hair. Perhaps you might like to look at these areas and match your tones similarly in your portrait. I know it is hard to tell with photos and computers, but it was just a thought.

Good luck with it.
