Deborah, Your original photo has a good value range that your painting doesn't reflect. Unfortunately you have lost your shadow/light patterns that made this a strong initial image.

Again, it is often useful to be able to see in black and white. Computers are such a useful tool for this.

Hi Deborah,

Could it be that your watercolor has been stretched? The whole thing looks wider than the reference photo. It would be easyer to compare the to if they were seen as you saw them when painting.
