Gosh Lara,
You've made a stunning portrait to cherish from a terrible and blurry reference, but one would never detect that, with your superb finish and insight. It takes a special talent and level of experience to accomplish what you have.
I just stumbled upon this thread for the first time. I felt you were well on your way even on your first image post. My only critique would have been against the photo reference, but you were able to read through all its weaknesses. Congratulations! ...And, it was nice to see your process, through a work in progress, so thanks for sharing this.
Garth

You should have posted it in the unveilings sections long ago.
Congrats, that's a great piece.

I want to add my "wows" to this piece. You've worked a miracle with that reference photo, congratulations!

I am sorry to be so late too! You've done a marvelous job, and I particularly like the handling of the shirt to support your center of interest!
I realize you are completed but you might want to recheck the highlights in the eyes - both the placement and the value. With side lighting I think one highlight will generally be brighter.
Beautiful work!

Quick Note
It occurs to me that I am getting more credit than I deserve. The photo I posted on the internet is a poor quality photo of my referrence photo. It was better in person. 
Thanks for the great feedback. Thanks for the information about the highlight in the eyes--that is good to know.
Lara
